“We are continuously expanding our global open innovation initiatives, and partnering with Greentown Labs represents another important step in the aviation industry’s collaborative effort to connect people willing to forge new paths that positively impact our world,” said Daniel Moczydlower, CEO of Embraer-X.

Acting as a market accelerator, Embraer-X has access to novel businesses and innovative solutions, and promotes collaboration with innovation hubs, co-investors, and partners in alignment with aviation industry goals and objectives.

"Greentown is thrilled to partner with Embraer-X, which is on the leading edge of reducing aviation emissions, which represent both a major climate challenge and opportunity for innovation," said Greentown CEO and President Kevin Knobloch. "We look forward to Embraer-X engaging with our startups that are developing solutions for sustainable aviation—and to the positive results that come from those exciting collaborations."
