“The idea at the origin of the USAIRE Student Awards was to invite young people to aerospace and defence industry events. At this time, at USAIRE, we realized we had to better listen to the youth and help it to understand the challenges of our industry! We benefited from the success of our predecessors in France and Europe who developed this incredible industry. These past succcesses now give us the duty to keep on transmitting knowledge and experience. I would have never expected that this competition would become such an important professional event. I would like to thank USAIRE for its support to the Student Awards, as well as ORAJe for its outstanding work. These young talents will be tomorrow’s leaders of this industry that is so important for France!”
