Firstco, one of the UK’s leading innovators in Vertiport Management Systems, were invited to speak at the recent World Smart City Expo (WSCE) in South Korea, a leading forum where industry innovators, city planners, and technology experts gather to explore the potential of smart technologies to shape future cities.
Firstco’s involvement in the “K-Smart City Vertiport Forum” highlights the company’s commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions in both the urban and AAM space, ensuring cities of the future can leverage future mobility technologies to enhance connectivity and efficiency.
Aaron Erwin from Firstco shared the stage with other prominent leaders in the sector, contributing to insightful discussions on the latest advancements, challenges, and future prospects of the industry. The forum brought together key players, including manufacturers, innovators, policymakers, and researchers, fostering a collaborative environment where expertise and ideas were exchanged. Firstco’s participation highlighted its role as a significant player in the development of AAM solutions and its commitment to influencing the future of urban transportation.
Firstco shared insights into the latest advancements in its Vertiport Management Systems (VMS) and described how it can play a crucial role in supporting the wider AAM ecosystem. Central to the success of AAM will be the leveraging of technology to create the efficiencies required to make the sector safe and commercially viable. Firstco has been at the forefront of developing the necessary systems critical to vertiport operations, leveraging over 25+ years of experience in transport infrastructure, to develop the VMS.
The VMS enables the remote management of a network of vertiports from a single command and control centre, optimising operations, ensuring efficiency, and driving sustainability.
As the AAM sector continues to evolve, collaboration between technology providers, infrastructure developers, and regulatory bodies will be essential to shape the urban landscapes of the future.
