WIA-Europe Symposium 2026 - Brussels In-Person Day: Networking & High-Level Discussions

This in-person day in Brussels brings together industry leaders, policymakers, startups, and early-career professionals for high-level discussions and panels on Europe’s aerospace and innovation landscape.

Highlights include:

• From Start-Up to Sovereignty: Why Europe Loses Its Aerospace Scale-Ups – examining the structural challenges facing high-growth companies.
• Do EU Skills Instruments Deliver Who They Promise? – exploring the policy mechanisms addressing the early-career 3–5 year gap.

While earlier events in the series focus on hands-on experiences and practical skills, this day provides a strategic, policy-level perspective, combined with networking opportunities to connect with peers, mentors, and industry leaders.
