The Advanced Air Mobility Institute has collaborated with the National Association of Italian Municipalities (ANCI Toscana) on the development and promotion of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in Italy, particularly the Tuscany region.
The partnership will involve joint projects with local governments, businesses, universities, research centers and civil society.
The parties plan to carry out a list of activities as part of their union, including the exchange of best practices and information gathered in benefit of AAM to the local territory and mobility. Educational events and online training directives are planned to be a source in which to raise awareness in order to reach and target various stakeholders, as well as the general public.
“With this protocol, by combining the technical expertise and ecosystem of experts with which AAM Institute is in contact with the network of local relations and the representation of ANCI Toscana, it will be possible to organize initiatives to inform, raise awareness and stimulate cooperation between public bodies, companies and start-ups in the AAM sector to facilitate the emergence of projects that favor inter-modality, in accordance with the regulations in force and the needs of local communities,” ANCI Toscana Director, Simone Gheri, said.
Dan Sloat, Founder of the AAM Institute, added; “We are deeply grateful to our Liaison to Italy, Salvo Forzese, for his efforts to foster cross-border cooperation. He will play a crucial role in strengthening ties to benefit the Tuscan people.”
