Program expansion will increase collaboration with small
and medium-sized businesses
BENGALURU, India, Feb. 12,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE:
RTX) business, today announced the launch of its Powered by Collins
Initiative™ 2025 edition at Aero India. The initiative invites deep
tech small- to medium-sized enterprises to work with a leader in
aerospace and defense through targeted collaboration opportunities
which represent technologies critical to the industry's future.
This year's opportunities bring focus to material informatics and
quantum-enabled navigation.
Collaboration opportunities represent known needs for active
aerospace and defense projects and programs, where collaboration
through funded, rapid development demonstration programs can
accelerate deployment of solutions for customers. Since its launch
in 2023, the Powered by Collins Initiative has worked with
companies focused on aerospace and defense as well as companies in
adjacent industries.
In addition to this year's collaboration opportunities, Collins
has expanded the program with the launch of the Powered by Collins
ecosystem on Switchpitch – an online startup relationship
management platform that helps to connect startups with
enterprises, investors and technology accelerators.
"Innovation and Collins' technology development needs are
constantly evolving, and the Powered by Collins Ecosystem serves as
a complement to our existing collaboration network, enabling
Collins business teams to engage potential solution providers
throughout the year. We believe this will unlock even more dynamic
collaboration and rapidly provide solutions to meet our customers'
needs," said Mary Lombardo, vice
president, Advanced Technology for Collins.
