We’re excited to welcome Kristina Palovicova, Innovation Expert at Transavia, to the FutureTravel Summit 2025.
Kristina’s career bridges the worlds of startups and corporates. Her background includes founding and leading a travel startup through international growth and an acquisition in 2022. Today, she applies that entrepreneurial mindset inside Transavia, where she is focused on making space for innovations that support the airline’s sustainability goals.
Her journey gives her a rare perspective on both sides of the innovation table: the agility of a startup founder and the scale of a corporate innovator. She knows firsthand what it takes for ideas to survive the shift from pilot to partnership, and how culture and structure can make or break innovation inside large organizations.
At the FutureTravel Summit, Kristina will join a conversation on corporate-startup collaboration, sharing her insights on what big organizations really need from startups, how to set up experiments that stick, and what it takes internally to turn collaboration into long-term impact. Join us in Barcelona on October 30 to hear it live!
