ECS Group<br />
Nurturing tomorrow's industry leaders<br />
Teaming up with colleges, universities, numerous startup nurseries and accelerators<br />
as well as airlines and transit agents around the world, ECS is launching the<br />
#NexGenLeaders—a project that challenges the best young innovators to come up<br />
with new ideas on how to improve the air cargo industry. The best projects will be<br />
revealed at “Air Cargo Europe” in Munich, Germany in June 2019.<br />
Behind a l l s u c c e s s f u l<br />
companies are people. The<br />
employees who think and<br />
execute the work. The management<br />
that oversees the operations and<br />
directs its future. And the consumers<br />
who patronize the products or services<br />
that companies sell.<br />
Despite the emergence of new<br />
technologies that have taken over<br />
many sectors in recent years, the value<br />
of human capital remains strong in the<br />
air cargo industry so much that it<br />
continues to invest on people,<br />
e m p o w e r i n g t h e m w i t h n e w<br />
knowledge, skills and techniques.<br />
ECS Group, the largest integrated<br />
GSSA worldwide with more than 1,000<br />
strong employees across 69 offices in<br />
47 countries, is taking its human<br />
capital investment a notch up with the<br />
launch of #NexGenLeaders—a project<br />
that challenges the best young<br />
innovators to come up with new ideas<br />
on how to help improve the air cargo<br />
industry.<br />
Adrien Thominet, CEO of ECS Group,<br />
explained to Air Cargo Update the<br />
project is aimed at discovering new<br />
talents and tomorrow's industry<br />
leaders and giving them the<br />
opportunity to grow in the GSSA<br />
industry.<br />
“We indeed have the intention to<br />
launch an ambitious project on the<br />
international scale to discover<br />
tomorrow's industry leaders. In the<br />
four corners of the world, the project<br />
will be an opportunity for students,<br />
startups and ECS group employees to<br />
make their ideas known and to deploy<br />
their talents with the same goal:<br />
rejuvenating our industry by way of<br />
innovation,” says Thominet who is<br />
deeply passionate about empowering<br />
the Millennials with industr y<br />
opportunities.<br />
“Known as #NexGenLeaders, this<br />
project will consist of a challenge<br />
lasting almost 6 months, with a totally<br />
dematerialized on-line part followed<br />
by a live finale. The grand jury<br />
consisting of experts from our industry<br />
will elect the best projects which will be<br />
revealed during the Munich “Air Cargo<br />
Europe” event in June 2019,” he added.<br />
