This Tuesday, April 7, Jean-Christophe Lambert (Co-founder and CEO of Ascendance) and Arnaud Mounier (Managing Director of Semeccel) signed a three-year partnership with L’Envol des Pionniers. On this occasion, Ascendance officially became a member of the Toulouse Pioneers collective.
Founded in 2022, Toulouse Pioneers brings together companies with a shared ambition: to showcase the pioneering spirit that forged Toulouse's aerospace legacy while building the urban mobility of tomorrow.
For Ascendance, joining this collective is in alignment with our trajectory. It echoes our mission: to develop and industrialize hybrid-electric propulsion solutions—such as our STERNA system and our ATEA VTOL—to build a more efficient and decarbonized aviation industry.
This partnership reaffirms our deep roots at the heart of an ecosystem that, for over a century, has been the birthplace of major innovations in European skies.
"We humbly acknowledge that Latécoère, Blériot, and Clément Ader accomplished incredible things by drawing strength from one another. It is precisely in that spirit that Ascendance joins the Toulouse Pioneers. You can count on us to be fully involved and to bring to life the values that unite us."
— Jean-Christophe Lambert
We look forward to pursuing this heritage within this exceptional network.
