Hangar 51 is a ten-week programme which allows participants to trial their products at scale, whilst working closely alongside the International Airlines Group (IAG) senior management team and other experts. IAG is looking to test and trial promising products and services with airline customers.
Hangar 51 Ventures will not invest automatically as part of the accelerator. Instead, if participants raise money in the two years after the accelerator, they are asked to give Hangar 51 the option to invest €250,000 or 20% of the value of the next round.
Whilst participating in the programme, start-ups will also gain insights from subject matter experts through an education programme.
The current programme focuses on these key categories:
- Travel Restart
- Connected Operations
- Sustainability
- Data & AI
- Future Energy
- Enterprise Tech
- Distributed Teams
- Wildcard
Start-ups may apply from anywhere in the world. IAG is particularly looking to work alongside companies that specialise in data, business processes and improving airports. This year the accelerator will run virtually.
The deadline for applications 31 August 2021.
How To Apply
This is an annual programme.
Applicants will need to provide information about themselves, their product or service, their team and their company within their application. The programme has four stages. Pitch day will give start-ups the opportunity to pitch to IAG senior leaders and over 100 business representatives in order to compete for a place on the programme. Applicants will have the chance to expand upon their application, convincing the panel that they are suitable for the programme.
