Inspiring Innovation

Accelerate the Welsh economy through a unique collaboration

Airbus Endeavr Wales exists to help innovative ideas become reality. We help fund the development of early stage research to the point where commercial value can be realised.

We have the financial backing of Airbus and the Welsh Government – working in partnership with Cardiff University plus other academic institutes and innovative small businesses.

We are passionate about innovation, collaboration and supporting others to create the products of the future. Our aim is to accelerate the Welsh economy by creating future jobs in our region.

If you have an innovative idea that you think would fit any of our areas of interest, then please do get in touch.

"Endeavr has helped embed Airbus into the Welsh innovation ecosystem, tapping into the expertise of our universities and SMEs to develop cutting-edge solutions for complex industrial challenges.

"This long-standing partnership has already led to some exciting initiatives, including the Cyber Innovation Hub for Wales, and the challenge-led approach will continue to support translational research to strengthen our economy and create new opportunities for future generations."

“As a founding member of the Airbus Endeavr Wales programme, we are proud to have supported this initiative for the past 15 years. Recent years have seen the programme capitalise on areas of real strength and growth for both Cardiff University and the wider academic sector in Wales, namely cutting-edge cyber technology, artificial intelligence, and advanced materials."
