A Royal Moment: Dutch King experiencing FlyDrive mobility

PAL‑V was honoured to attend the prestigious FME 75th anniversary event, where PAL-V was one of the three nominees for the Peter Wennink Tech Award. During the event, His Majesty King Willem‑Alexander paid a visit and took the time to get a better understanding of PAL-V’s FlyDrive mobility solutions, highlighting the importance of innovation within the Dutch technology sector.

PAL‑V was selected as one of the top three nominees for the Peter Wennink Tech Award by a distinguished four‑member jury consisting of Peter Wennink, Tjark Tjin‑A‑Tsoi (CEO of TNO), Hellen van der Plas (CEO of Signify) and Dirk de Bilde (CEO of Siemens). The nomination reflects PAL‑V’s pioneering approach, technological depth and its role in creating an entirely new mobility category with significant societal impact.

PAL-V congratulates LeydenJar with receiving the Peter Wennink Tech Award. The other nominee was AQUABATTERY, both highly regarded innovators in the field of sustainable energy technology. Trading companies, technology start‑ups, and both large and small enterprises were represented during this celebration.

“We are pleased with the recognition as a key strategic OEM for the future of the Netherlands. Globally, we are known as one of the leaders in the major future industry of advanced air mobility. With 80% Dutch suppliers and collaboration with universities, universities of applied sciences, and vocational colleges, we are already a key player in the ecosystem of sustainable aviation innovation. What makes PAL-V special is not only the technology and the disruptive market story, but also the ecosystem behind it: Dutch investors, partners, and customers who dare to build strategic technology together.” Robert Dingemanse, CEO of PAL-V elaborates.
