IAG joins consortium to set up innovation lab for airport operations

International Airlines Group (IAG) has opened applications for the 2025 IAGi Accelerator Programme. The annual programme identifies and tests new technologies that have the potential to solve challenges across the aviation industry and was first launched in 2016 as Hangar 51.

We are excited to announce the launch of IAGi Ventures, our new corporate venturing arm. Over the next five years, we plan to invest up to €200 million in high-potential companies, making this one of the largest investment of its kind globally and the biggest by a European airline group.

To build on our success and further strengthen our position as a leader in aviation technology and transformation, we are excited to introduce IAGi, our new innovation brand.
