    Strategic research and innovation agenda The proposed European Partnership for Clean Aviation Draft - Version July 2020 Courtesy of DLR STRATEGIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION AGENDA Foreword Substantial amounts of information contained within this document originate from before the coronavirus crisis Information and figures, data and forecasts included in this document originate from before the coronavirus-re- lated crisis. It is much too early to understand the full impact of the coronavirus-related crisis on short and mid- term traffic. However, it is clear that this crisis calls for even more action from the European Union institutions on green innovation and in support of the aviation sector’s transformation than there has been to date. • The need and challenge of tackling climate change is an unrelenting priority. • Connectivity and mobility are essential to humanity. While we believe the long-term need for connectivity and mobility will remain strong, and demand for aviation will recover, the short- to medium-term will be significantly impacted. • The capability of the sector to self-finance is rapidly eroding due to the severity of the economic and finan- cial emergency that is propelling the aviation and aeronautics industries into an unprecedented crisis. • For Europe to maintain a leading role in aviation its industry needs a level playing field. On the worldwide stage other economic powers such as the US and China are heavily supporting their sectors with R&I. The US has recently announced a significant stimulus package for the aeronautics industry going well beyond previous levels of R&I support and tax breaks. China’s capacity to invest is comparable.

Since I was appointed as President at the 2018 General Meeting, I have made every effort to work towards achieving the objectives of this Association and the Sector we represent. 2018 has been a stable year in which the expected high and sustained ramp‐up in production has been confirmed. In fact, this aspect is one of the causes of an increase, for another year running, in our turnover and employment figures, which stand at 2,457 million euros and 14,856 jobs, with these figures representing all the locations of HEGAN members around the world. It is satisfying to see that employment has grown by almost 3% compared to the previous year, and even more so considering that this sector has people who are highly qualified and of high value—one of the keys to maintaining our positioning and competitiveness.
