Aeronautics, ready for takeoff
The aeronautics sector is facing an unprecedented increase in its production rates and the need to further reduce its costs. Aging fleets and new technologies are generating increased revenue opportunities downstream of the value chain.
Mews Partners supports the aeronautics industry on major transformation issues:
- agility of development processes and organizations
- digital transformation and digital continuity
- valuation of innovative services, etc.
Defense, in working order
In a context of very diverse threats, states are seeking budgetary solutions to ensure their sovereignty and the security of their citizens. Defense companies, for their part, must improve their competitiveness by using several levers, including innovation. They also want to take advantage of digital technologies: artificial intelligence, COBOTS, blockchain, etc. Big data makes it possible to consider new value-added services, such as integrated logistics support, based on actual equipment usage data.
New Space in orbit
Space is undergoing a real revolution that is forcing traditional players to reinvent themselves to compete with the new players in New Space, who are increasingly competitive, agile and innovative. Data volumes from space are exploding and new uses are emerging, creating new business model opportunities for those who can position themselves in the value chain and choose the right technologies (such as the constellation of nanosatellites, etc.).
Mews Partners supports agencies, bonuses and manufacturers in this transformation.
