Overview This workshop was set up to engage the Aerospace SME and Primes community in and around Copenhagen with the intention of stimulating communication, knowledge sharing, collaboration and the co-creation of creative ideas while building awareness of our SME-AERO-POWER project and the approach we are taking. We ran the event on a Thursday from 09:30 – 16:00 which proved quite a hurdle to get attendees to give up their time, and trust that the experience would be worthwhile. The event was advertised on Eventbrite, Twitter, Facebook and across various related LinkedIn Groups together with many personal approaches to individuals we thought should attend. What follows is a brief summary of the event...
