We are delighted to announce that Thomas Anbeek has joined NAG to lead the Luchtvaart in Transitie (LiT) Venture Lab on behalf of LRN.
With over ten years of experience in the startup ecosystem, including leading an Innovation Studio and working in Australia’s venture scene, Thomas brings the expertise needed to help aviation startups grow.
Unlike in the US, where startups often scale rapidly, many European startups remain stuck in their early phase. The LiT Venture Lab will tackle this challenge by focusing on investor readiness, bridging the gap from innovation to commercialisation and accelerating the transition to sustainable aviation, all in close collaboration with ecosystem partners.
This is only the beginning, more news about the Venture Lab will follow soon!
