The purpose of the Alliance is to prepare the aviation ecosystem so that electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft can enter into service as soon as possible, as outlined in the Destination 2050 Roadmap. The Alliance should facilitate the leveraging of the necessary investments and development of leading edge technologies in this field under aviation research programmes (especially the Clean Aviation and SESAR3 Joint Undertakings), which will contribute to Europe’s 2050 climate neutrality target in the framework of the European Green Deal. The Alliance will contribute to achieving the objectives reaffirmed by the Toulouse Declaration on future sustainability and decarbonisation of aviation.
To address sustainability challenges while enabling economic growth, Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation have identified 1000+ clean and profitable solutions. The Solar Impulse Foundation has organized these solutions into a search-engine for climate action – the Solutions Explorer – in order to support their implementation at scale. By giving political and economic decision-makers the tools to adopt much more ambitious energy and environmental policies, the Foundation will help them to set a roadmap to reach their environmental objectives.

The Société d’encouragement pour l’industrie nationale was founded in 1801 by a group of scholars, senior civil servants and entrepreneurs, with the support of the three consuls Bonaparte, Cambacérès and Lebrun, to revive the French economy. In the 19th century, it made a direct contribution to France’s economic development in areas ranging from the first railway networks to the creation of the first energy production and distribution infrastructures. Its action was decisive in terms of patents and standardisation. It was the forerunner of ANVAR, INPI, OSEO and the National Testing Laboratory. It was recognised as being of public utility in 1824.
The Société d’Encouragement continues its mission of accompanying major industrial, economic and social changes. It aims to stimulate the industrial renaissance of France, to encourage technological innovation and to promote entrepreneurship.
The Goal:
To support the development of the automotive, land transport and mobility industries in the Alsace and Franche-Comté region; improve their competitiveness in order to create value and jobs.
An action program for the competitiveness of the region
