CoFFEE
Co-Creation of Future Flight Ecosystems and Enterprise
Welcome to The CoFFEE Project
Aviation is critical in developing the UK’s economy and how we live. After all, aviation has enabled cities, including Denmark’s Legoland (in otherwise secluded Billund), to become ‘experience’ destinations.
Future Flight can only enhance the UK’s sustainable society and strengthen the economy when individuals, innovation ecosystem stakeholders, and local communities adopt these new technologies. Without understanding the emerging innovation ecosystem, stakeholder networks, and technology implementation, Future Flight will likely fail. Therefore, we ask:
- How the motivations of aerospace industry technologists, businesses, and social entrepreneurs influence the emergent FF business models,
- How innovations can be co-developed by technologists and local communities to achieve social and environmental sustainability,
- How the emerging FF ecosystem can be nudged toward viable, safe, and sustainable business models which have low, or even positive, environmental impacts.
We achieve this through interviews, workshops, and case studies involving over 100 local communities, policymakers, aerospace industry technologists, businesses, social entrepreneurs, and NGOs.
