The group has capital of over 250 million euros at its disposal for this purpose. There is also mention of access to a further 500 million euros in capital for the expansion of operations in Europe and beyond.

The Lilium platform is the result of years of endeavour by some of the most talented engineers in the world. We are excited about the opportunity to take this platform forward, invest in and realise its full potential,” explained Dr Robert Kamp, CEO & Senior Partner of AAMG.
