Next week Reblade's team will have a rather #exclusive #drone #photo op against a spectacular backdrop. The EIC - European Innovation Council has invited Reblade and seven other drone companies to demo Europe's most exciting drone innovations right in the the heart of #Brussels city centre. We are hoping for ideal lighting, blue skies and favorable wind gusts on this day of #inner #city #flight demos! The event is part of the European Commission’s #Research & #Innovation Days in September, where you can also meet EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, European Defence Agency, European Defence Fund, SESAR Joint Undertaking and EUROCONTROL.

Reblade's #team and tech was selected by the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub (OWIH) in NYC. We are proud and happy to be invited to help shape the future of #offshorewind, #cleanenergy and to bridge our tech to the US #EastCoast. Joining OWIH, which is led by Equinor in collaboration with Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium supported by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, is quite a unique opportunity for Reblade and our flying solution for blade repairs. Being selected required a lot of team effort. Not just by making blade repairs cost-effective, greener and automated, but more so by introducing maintenance capacity that scales with the growth of #renewableenergy. Our top-tier team of 16 globally recruited #engineers are demoing, improving and rolling out our solution for automated, drone-based leading edge erosion repairs on sites throughout Europe in August and September. We look forward to cross the #Atlantic and to showcase our vision and technology for US adoption of Reblade's rope-less blade repairs in offshore wind operations. For blade experts and site managers in wind O&M or offshore services: Reach out if you are in the #NYC around 3rd to 6th of September. We are looking for new opportunities to collaborate with energy companies and service companies for the future of blade maintenance - by introducing a drone that does automated #leadingedgeerosion repairs.

The Reblade team and technology was selected among the four top EIC startups to participate in a dedicated #roundtable ahead of the launch of the EU #Startup and #Scaleup Strategy. We are thankful to EIC - European Innovation Council and Nassima Ferahtia for the opportunity to share our story and to help showcase and discuss how EIC brings passionate visionaries and die-hard #founders to commercialization through strategic funding. As an ordinary startup made successful with the help of the EIC Accelerator program, we are happy to do our part to help the next generation of founders and make the global world continue to #chooseeurope for innovation and new technology. #thankyou EIC!
