The Junior World Gliding Championships (JWGC) is the ultimate stage for young aviation talent. In August 2026, the world’s best pilots under 26 will gather in Aalen, Germany, to compete in a sport that demands peak mental focus, meteorological strategy, and technical excellence.
Representing Belgium is a dedicated team of four elite pilots: Virginie Valck, Edwige Colson, Michiel Haemels and Wannes Smits.
While our pilots have the talent and the drive, competing at this international level comes with significant logistical challenges. Currently, the team is responsible for its own funding, covering costs for transport, specialized infrastructure, intensive training, and technical support.
To bridge this gap, we are looking for partners who want to support Belgian excellence in aviation and technology. Your support helps our juniors fly the Belgian flag on the world stage.
Support top-tier national talent on the world stage against 20+ nations.
Connecting your brand to sustainable aviation, aerodynamics, and precision engineering.
International exposure across social media, our daily blog, and branding on trailers/gear.
Let’s discuss how we can represent your brand on the world stage.
