His Majesty King Willem-Alexander paid a visit to PAL-V during the FME 75th anniversary event, taking the time to gain a better understanding of the company’s FlyDrive mobility solutions.
PAL-V attended the prestigious anniversary event as one of three nominees for the Peter Wennink Tech Award. The company was selected for the shortlist by a four-member jury consisting of Peter Wennink, TNO CEO Tjark Tjin-A-Tsoi, Signify CEO Hellen van der Plas, and Siemens CEO Dirk de Bilde.
The nomination recognized PAL-V’s pioneering approach, technological depth, and its role in creating an entirely new mobility category with significant societal impact.
LeydenJar received the Peter Wennink Tech Award, while fellow nominee AQUABATTERY was also recognized as a leading innovator in sustainable energy technology. The event brought together trading companies, technology start-ups, and both large and small enterprises from across the Dutch technology sector.
Robert Dingemanse, CEO of PAL-V, elaborated, “We are pleased with the recognition as a key strategic OEM for the future of the Netherlands. Globally, we are known as one of the leaders in the major future industry of advanced air mobility. With 80% Dutch suppliers and collaboration with universities, universities of applied sciences, and vocational colleges, we are already a key player in the ecosystem of sustainable aviation innovation. What makes PAL-V special is not only the technology and the disruptive market story, but also the ecosystem behind it: Dutch investors, partners, and customers who dare to build strategic technology together.”
