MAHB’s Nexus of Innovation (NOI) programme represents a strong commitment to building an internal culture of innovation across its airports and corporate divisions. In its first edition, the programme has generated 53 ideas across 4 categories and 6 innovation pillars, with participation from 23 units and 8 airport locations. Now, the programme is looking for solvers to co-create these solutions.
