Jet Zero: Hydrogen and Skills

Hydrogen is rapidly becoming a leading method for decarbonising air travel. But how can you support the decarbonisation of the aviation industry with a skilled workforce?

On Wednesday 26th January, Business West is hosting an online Jet Zero Hydrogen and Skills event in partnership with WEAF and speakers including ATI’s FlyZero team. Join us to hear from key partners involved in product development, the rollout of infrastructure and uptake of hydrogen pan-sector and gain valuable insight on how hydrogen is playing a key role in the aerospace sector's journey to net zero.

With an array of speakers stretching from industry leaders to leading training providers, you will receive an in-depth understanding of the region’s current ambitions in hydrogen, as well as guidance on how you can collaborate with further education and training providers to ensure we have the skills and talent available locally for this technology to come to life.
