ESB X_Site’s focus is to catalyse the next frontier in sustainable transport by supporting startups building the power, platforms, and protocols that will help the skies become greener, more connected, and more accessible than ever before.
Aviation is undergoing a radical transformation as decentralised, electrified air mobility - driven by drones and passenger-carrying aircraft - redefines transport of goods and people by moving beyond large airports and long-haul flights to enable faster, more flexible, and lower-emission access to remote and rural communities. Making this a reality means reimagining both physical and digital infrastructure, with smart airports and droneports that can manage complex electricity needs, integrate with air traffic systems, and use AI and real-time data to ensure safe, secure, reliable low carbon operations.
