Applicable to the following areas:

• Innovation and Digital Transformation
• IT and Data Analytics
• Engineering and Maintenance

• Real-world applications, beyond theory and into practice. You’ll experiment with current AI tools and explore how they’re used (and misused) across industries.
• How is AI specifically used in aviation today, and what’s coming next? With case studies, demos, and practical discussions tailored to your industry.
• Work on a real-world aviation use-case of your choice, guided by instructors and enriched by peer feedback.
