At the Embraer Supplier Conference 2026, CEO Johann C. Bordais emphasized strong supplier engagement as Eve moves from concept toward execution and certification preparation. The company recognized ASE S.p.A. for eVTOL Program Development and cited FACC AG, Garmin and Diehl Aviation as key partners supporting its development roadmap.
Eve also engaged with policymakers at a São Paulo City Council symposium on urban air mobility focused on future eVTOL operations. Company representatives contributed perspectives on technology development, certification, safety and the infrastructure required to support urban air operations in Brazil and other major cities.
The company referenced its previously released Infrastructure Guide as a tool for municipalities preparing for urban air mobility. By positioning itself as a thought leader on regulatory and infrastructure planning, Eve appears to be prioritizing long-term ecosystem readiness alongside aircraft development.
For investors and stakeholders, these updates suggest progress on both the technical and regulatory fronts, potentially reducing development and adoption risks over time. Overall, the week underscored Eve Air Mobility’s efforts to solidify its supply chain, advance prototyping and shape emerging urban air mobility frameworks in key markets.
