Joby Aviation this week relaunched the annual Elevate Summit previously staged by Uber, with a 2022 gathering of advanced air mobility (AAM) experts to be held on October 12 and 13 in Brooklyn, New York. In early 2020, ride-hailing giant Uber sold its Elevate flight booking platform to Joby, having staged the third Elevate Summit in Washington, D.C., in June of that year. Due mainly to Covid restrictions, the event was not held in 2020 and 2021.

According to Joby, which is working to certify its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft in time to start commercial operations in 2024, the summit will once again focus on how the “aerial ridesharing ecosystem” can be established with discussions between aircraft manufacturers, supply chain companies, investors, city officials, and real estate developers.
