Delighted to visit BETA TECHNOLOGIES in Burlington (VT) on my very last business trip as ED of our Luxembourg trade office in NY. The 7 year old company is a great example of American tech and invention up north. It started manufacturing charging infrastructure and battery powered airplanes, both fixed wing and VTOL. I flew the company’s ALIA, a technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft, across Lake Champlain on a simulator. I love their creativity, including inside their huge and brand new manufacturing facility. Thank you to COO Blain Newton and Public Affairs executive Jake Goldman for showing me around. After 3 years of excitement, I’ll soon say goodbye to the lovely people and smart business professionals in the U.S. but with renewed confidence that the exchange of ideas, business practices and finance across the Atlantic continues to flourish. #aviation #battery #tech #vermont
