Sion – H55, a trailblazing company born from the Solar Impulse project, continues its impressive ascension in the realm of electric aviation.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2017 and headquartered at the Energypolis<\/a> campus in Sion, H55<\/a> has become a pivotal force in the transformation towards a carbon-neutral aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 marked a significant milestone for H55, as\u00a0the company successfully raised CHF 45 million<\/a>, enabling them to further expand their activities in Switzerland and Canada. This financial boost is poised to increase their workforce to around 200 employees at their Sion site, a testament to their growing influence in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s Executive Chairman, Andr\u00e9 Borschberg, has highlighted H55\u2019s unique approach of not solely depending on venture capital. Instead, they focus on strategic partnerships with key industry players, like Raytheon, an American aerospace and defense company. This strategy has helped H55 in developing and integrating electric propulsion systems into future aircraft, notably the Bristell Energic, a two-seater plane designed by Czech company BRM Aero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H55\u2019s technological prowess lies in their electric motors and battery packs<\/a>, which offer a flight autonomy of 90 minutes. Safety is paramount in their design, especially in preventing battery fires, a challenge acknowledged in the aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion in Canada<\/a> is a strategic move, with H55 opening a new assembly site in Quebec, a project worth CHF 10 million. This international growth is not just a business expansion but also an alignment with global carbon neutrality goals, aiming to transform regional and eventually intercontinental flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H55\u2019s journey is intertwined with significant partnerships and milestones. From teaming up with Pratt & Whitney<\/a> for a hybrid-electric demonstrator program to providing battery technology for Harbour Air\u2019s all-electric commercial airplane, the company\u2019s trajectory is marked by innovation and strategic collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their commitment to a sustainable future is clear, as Borschberg stated: \u201cOur goal has always been to target regional commuter transportation,\u201d aligning with the global aviation sector\u2019s agreement to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This vision is backed by a strong political support from the canton of Valais, a key factor in their ongoing success and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
