After the tour, a meeting was held to explore potential synergies. Dr. Lu Bai, Mr. Yingming Chen and Mr. Xiangru Wang gave an overview of TASLAB’s core research interests and significant past achievements.
In return, Mr. Alles and Ms. Tse introduced their major upcoming exhibition, Aero Asia 2025. They proposed adding a dedicated academic session to the event as a platform to feature the latest research. They also noted that the exhibition’s career session would be an excellent opportunity for students in aeronautics and aviation to connect with industry leaders and learn about future career pathways.
The meeting concluded with shared enthusiasm for future collaboration between TASLAB and Messe Frankfurt.
