iQHub

Urban aircraft are seen as a solution to growing traffic congestion issues. UrbanV is a company established to operate vertiport networks globally to enable aerial mobility. UrbanV plans to launch commercial operations in Rome by the end of 2024, being one of the first cities worldwide. They are developing vertiport networks in Rome, Venice, French Riviera, and Bologna. UrbanV has already built a test vertiport in Rome where they conduct tests with industry partners.

Traffic congestion is a growing issue The problem ■ (1) INRIX; (2) U.S. Census Bureau; (3) The Lancet Planetary Health 2 ■ 97 hours: time Americans lose on average every year due to congestion(1) ■ $87 billion: cost of traffic congestion to the US economy in 2018(1) ■ 20 minutes: additional time the typical commuter now spends commuting every week, vs a decade ago(2) ■ 9 million: worldwide deaths each year from pollution(3)
Aerial mobility can help alleviate congestion The solution Image credits: Getty Images / iStockphoto 3 Urban Air Mobility (UAM) UAM envisions a safe and efficient transportation system that will use highly automated aircraft to operate and transport passengers or cargo within urban areas (50-80 km) Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) AAM builds upon the UAM concept by incorporating use cases not specific to operations in urban environments, e.g., commercial inter-city, cargo transportation (above 80-150 km) eVTOL electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing: safe, efficient, zero- emission, quiet vehicles, able to take-off and land also in dense urban environments and fly at low altitudes over cities
Global trends drive exponential growth Mega trends (1) World Bank, United Nations; (2) Markets and Markets Image credits: Wikipedia 4 ■ Urbanization: 56% of the world’s population live in cities, expected to grow to 60% by 2030(1) ■ Mobility as a service: ride-hailing is a ∼$120b global market, growing at 17% CAGR(2) ■ Sustainability in transportation is a growing focus, for the automotive and aviation industries ■ Technology makes short-distance flights viable today, thanks to developments in batteries, software and materials

Vertiport infrastructure is a key enabler for UAM development Infrastructure Source: The Wall Street Journal 7 The biggest stumbling block to that sci-fi vision, through, is rather down-to-earth: flying-car companies haven’t figured out how to site, permit and construct enough places for their vehicles to land and take off to allow a workable business model for making and operating sky taxis.
UrbanV Who we are Notes: (1) https://aamrealityindex.com/aam-infrastructure-index-1 8 We are a young company, established by four leading European airport-management companies We are based in Rome, Italy and we operate globally We aim to be a global leader in the Advanced Air Mobility sector Our Shareholders Ranked #2 globally in the latest release of the AAM Infrastructure Readiness Index(1)
We are a leading vertiport network operator Vision and Mission 9 We aim to improve people’s lives by enabling a fast, efficient, safe, and clean alternative to existing transport solutions for people and goods over short distances, by air We design and develop AAM networks, leveraging our deep operational expertise, and our strong relationships with all key ecosystem players We aim to become a major operator of vertiport networks, on a global scale OUR VISION OUR MISSION
Today we work as an ecosystem orchestrator, to accelerate vertiport deployment worldwide Business model 10 Planning and design We perform feasibility studies and prepare the blueprint for new vertiport networks • Feasibility study • High-level business plan • Preliminary vertiport design Infrastructure building We help select partners to build vertiports, and support all phases of the project, from permitting to commissioning • Permitting • Vertiports physical buildout • Coordination and supervision Vertiport network ops We manage vertiport networks ensuring compliance and operational efficiency • Infrastructure management • Energy management • Ancillary services Orchestrator We don’t stop at vertiports. We leverage our broad network to orchestrate complex projects and eventually bring AAM services to new regions around the world. main focus today core focus in the long term
We benefit from best-in-class airport heritage through our shareholders, including Rome Fiumicino Airport (Skytrax 5-star) Thanks to our relationship with ACA, we have access to operational experience of one of the busiest helicopter markets worldwide Thanks to our team’s backgrounds, and by virtue of being part of the Mundys family, we have access to a broad set of competencies and technologies in the technology space We combine the innovative capabilities of a new venture with strong corporate heritage and backing Best in class Airport Heritage Solid corporate backing Broad mobility background and expertise Experience with helicopter operations We can operate networks independently, or in partnership/JV with other players 11 We aim to become a major global operator of vertiport networks Business model
We are a first mover: we plan to launch operations in Rome by the end of 2024 First-mover 12 V V FCO airport City vertiport § Together with Volocopter, we will launch the first commercial route before the end of 2024 § Our launch will coincide with the start of the 2025 Jubilee, an important event for the Vatican and the Catholic Church § Together with Paris, Rome will be one of the very first cities worldwide to have commercial operations of eVTOL in 2024 § We are currently on-track for a launch in Q4 2024
We are developing four vertiport networks, in partnership with our shareholders Broad project portfolio 13 ROME VENICE CÔTE D’AZUR BOLOGNA
We have designed several proprietary vertiport concepts Vertiport design NOTE: images are shown for illustrative purposes 14 LAND (small / medium / large / temporary) ROOF (small / medium) FLOATING
Vertiport design principles Vertiport design 15 ❏ TECHNOLOGY-AGNOSTIC Our vertiports are built to last and to be able to fit all major types of eVTOLs, matching their technical requirements. ❏ FLEXIBLE Each city is unique, each location is unique. Our vertiports can be adapted to different setups (land, water, rooftops, …) and space availabilities. ❏ EFFICIENT We optimize every aspect of our design, in order to maximize space utilization and to minimize energy requirements and infrastructure investment. ❏ PEOPLE-CENTRIC We want to provide the best experience to every person who will use our vertiports. We leverage technology and smart design in order to surprise and delight. ❏ HIGH-QUALITY We were born global, but we have an Italian DNA. Our vertiports are characterized by beautiful design and built with high-quality materials.
We have already built a test vertiport, where we are conducting tests with industry partners Test vertiport 16 § Located in Rome, next to FCO (Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport) § First test vertiport in Europe (October 2022) in a complex environment § Regulatory sandbox approved by Italian CAA (ENAC) § Used to conduct tests with industrial partners and regulators
