Simon Tye, chief commercial officer, Avincis Group will be joining the HEMS Finance Forum.

Helicopter Investor will be staging two HI Finance Forums at European Rotors in Cologne, Germany on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 18th. Taking centre stage in the two discussion panels will be Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and the state of industry finances.

The two 45-minute forums will feature industry leaders dissecting key elements of the civil helicopter market in Rheinsaal 5 in Congress Centre North at the Kölnmesse, Cologne Exhibition Centre.

The first forum, dedicated to HEMS and starting at 15:15, will probe current trends in the European market. Questions under consideration include: How successful are the different models of funding services; which European countries are hotspots of growth and why? Plus, what are the key opportunities and threats facing growth in Europe, what are the most popular assets and are eVTOLS likely to play a role in the HEMS industry?

To answer those questions and many others, we have assembled a star panel of industry insiders. Taking part will be Gerard Deterne, CEO and founder, Pteron Valuations, Sara Dhariwal, principal aviation analyst and lead appraiser – Helicopters & AAM, Cirium Ascend Consultancy and Simon Tye, chief commercial officer from Avincis Group.

The second panel, taking place immediately after the first, will take the temperature of investment in the civil helicopter market. Questions under consideration will be: what evidence is there the industry has learnt the lessons of the past; what industry sectors and geographies offer the most promise; and how will the impact of new super-mediums helicopters shape the market? Plus, what’s driving growth – genuine industry expansion or the replacement cycle?

Answers to these and other questions will be supplied by a panel of leading financiers. Taking part will be: Raphael Naim, Investment director, RIVE Private Investment, Olivier Piot, CEO, Nova Capital and Michael York, CEO, GD Helicopter Finance.

Meanwhile, if you would like to put a question to our expert panel, or would like more information about either event, please email Mike Stones.

European Rotors will take place between Tuesday 17th – Thursday 20th November 2025, with exhibits open between November 18th – November 20th.
