The SIAM Cluster Association (Spanish Innovative Air Mobility) was created to become an international benchmark for innovation and high technology in the air mobility sector in Spain. It integrates commercial companies, research units, associations, and other entities with a national and international vocation in this sector. They freely associate to boost the interaction of the different agents, with the aim of dynamizing and fostering relationships between them, involving them in collaborative exchange processes aimed at obtaining advantages or benefits derived from the execution of innovative joint projects, which allow improving the competitiveness of its members and their international projection and visibility.
The Cluster will aim to manage, promote, defend, coordinate, and represent the common interests of its members, as well as increase their competitiveness in sectors related to the field of air mobility, which allows them to face any challenges and opportunities that derive from it, as well as promote the development of the necessary infrastructure. All this by promoting research, development, and innovation in the products and services of its members.
SIAM is a non-profit association, and its objective is to facilitate the entry of innovation into the market, through collaboration in the creation of new disruptive business models. In this way, it becomes the meeting point of the country’s companies, facilitating their communication and positioning Spain’s know-how on new market niches, with the same aim of being a reference at an international level. The interaction between companies, as a result of the Cluster, will be managed respecting at all times the right to competition and concurrency of its associates.
