PROGRAMME
Sonaca Aircraft is a new subsidiary of the Sonaca Group dedicated to general aviation. Since 2015, Sonaca Aircraft is developing, certifying and marketing a 2-seater aircraft for private pilots and flying schools all around Europe. Going from the market to the product definition, we will present you the insight of such a venture. As you may also have questions about entrepreneurship in a multinational group, we will go deeper in the dynamics of a small company, using the expertise of her parent companies but keeping its own flexibility.
Through the presentation you will discover the activities of the Sonaca Group, her innovative program launched in 2014 and her first spin out, Sonaca Aircraft.
The two speakers of Sonaca Aircraft S.A. are
Sophie Lancereau, CFO and COO
Pierre Van Wetter, CCO
