HOW IT WORKS
The Challenges
Airport Safety & Operations
We are looking for digital solutions that strengthen airport safety, improve operational reliability, and enhance real-time visibility across critical functions.
Startups are invited to propose technologies that enable faster risk detection, smarter monitoring, and more informed decision-making within a complex operational environment.
Indicative areas of interest include:
• Detection of unauthorized drones or airspace irregularities
• Integration of data from radar, IoT devices, and operational systems into a unified monitoring view
• Predictive maintenance based on sensor data and anomaly detection
• Real-time cybersecurity monitoring and protection of critical systems
• Intelligent alerting and incident prioritization tools for operational teams
Seamless Digital Passenger Experience
We are seeking digital-first solutions that make the passenger journey more seamless — without requiring new physical installations within the airport.
The focus is on delivering clarity, convenience, and real-time support throughout the travel experience, reducing friction and empowering passengers with timely, intelligent information.
Indicative areas of interest include:
• Personalized, real-time updates via mobile or web platforms
• Predictive insights on queue times and congestion using existing operational data
• AI-powered assistants supporting check-in, travel documentation, and journey guidance
• Smart wayfinding tools and proactive disruption notifications
• Digital accessibility solutions that enhance inclusivity for diverse passenger groups
AI-Driven Operational Optimization
We are looking for AI-powered solutions that enhance forecasting, resource planning, and coordination across airport operations.
The objective is to improve day-to-day performance, support smarter decision-making, and increase overall efficiency through intelligent analytics and automation.
Indicative areas of interest include:
• Predictive models for flight delays, baggage volumes, and staffing requirements
• Optimization of gate allocation, shift scheduling, and ground operations
• Automated reporting and conversion of operational data into actionable insights
• Detection of operational anomalies with recommended response actions
• Real-time dashboards and decision-support tools
Secure Data Management & Advanced Analytics
We are seeking solutions that enable secure, compliant, and effective use of data across the airport ecosystem.
The focus is on technologies that strengthen data governance, enhance collaboration, and unlock advanced analytics — while safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining full privacy standards.
Indicative areas of interest include:
• Secure data-sharing platforms with built-in privacy and governance controls
• Tools that improve data quality, integrity, and reliability
• Privacy-preserving analytics, including synthetic data, anonymization, and federated learning
• Detection of vulnerabilities across data pipelines and infrastructure
• Secure environments for AI model development, testing, and evaluation
