Headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices in Paris and Tokyo, Airbus Ventures is a fast-moving, early-stage venture capital company that independently funds and supports start-ups impacting the aerospace industry. Airbus Ventures has proudly helped inspiring innovators reach new dimensions of achievement since 2015.
Mission
Airbus Ventures gets sight of extraordinary start-ups that are destined to redefine the aerospace industry. Because it operates independently from Airbus, Airbus Ventures can co-invest with traditional top-tier venture-capital firms, meeting their expectations for financial discipline, speed of diligence, execution and robust returns. The result is much more relevant business value to Airbus and its portfolio companies.
