INSPIRE and Aero Intelligence launch applied research partnership for sustainable aviation innovation
Dr. Vik Singh and Aaron Dalal, CEO of Aero Intelligence, mark the launch of the INSPIRE x Aero Intelligence partnership at TRSM.
On July 15, 2026, INSPIRE welcomed colleagues, students, and industry partners to the Ted Rogers School of Management to mark a new applied research collaboration with Aero Intelligence.
The collaboration will explore how sustainability, technology transfer, artificial intelligence, and existing industry capabilities can support performance optimization and innovation in aviation. It creates a platform not only for applied research, but also for student training, knowledge exchange, and future partnerships between academia and industry.
The partnership was made possible through Dr. Vik Singh鈥檚 leadership in developing industry-facing research opportunities and the collaborative vision of Aaron Dalal, CEO of Aero Intelligence. Their work was essential in bringing the two organizations together around a real and important industry opportunity.
INSPIRE thanks Aero Intelligence, Dean Cynthia Holmes and the TRSM Dean鈥檚 Office, INSPIRE members, faculty colleagues, graduate students, and industry guests for joining us.
