AGF is absolutely key. Aviation has a long history of working together to solve issues. We need to work together to bring the industry to the next level. For us to come together across industry and even non-industry stakeholders, and really work on the solutions, make tangible commitments, and move forward. Not a single player can have meaningful impact.
Michael Cervenka
President, Vertical Aerospace
Aviation is one of the hardest areas to decarbonise…With huge challenges and global problems you need an alignment from different bodies, whether they are scientists, aerospace professionals, funding agencies, governments. That ecosystem is fundamental to make tangible progress - this isn’t about ‘how do we solve a problem in 30 years’ time?’, this is ‘how do we start now?’. This is a critical step to enabling this to happen
Steve Vance
Director of UK Aerospace, CGI
Collaboration is core to success on a global scale. Aerospace Global Forum can bring those key leaders to share knowledge and work together to create the standards and policy to really enable the aerospace sector to thrive.
Jack Withanshaw
Chief Commercial Officer, Airspeeder
It’s absolutely critical, we need a pinpointed place and space to be able to talk about these issues. As an ecosystem we are quite fragmented in trying to solve – there are so many players across space and aviation – trying to solve issues around safety, sustainability, inclusion, technology. We need a hallmark event to bring the best of best in the industry together to formalise solutions across the board.
Gary Cutts
Challenge Director, UKRI
Aerospace and wider aviation is at a real pivotal point. we have huge opportunity to do new things with new technologies emerging, but clearly we have an extensional crisis of the need for zero carbon and sustainability – so you’ve got those twin opportunities and threats to the industry. The wider industry needs to come together to solves those two issues and it needs to do that at a much greater pace. A forum who brings the best thought leaders for them to work side by side and drive an agenda for change.
JoeBen Bevirt
Joby Aviation Founder and CEO
Flying connects us to the people and places that we love and it fills the human spirit with wonder and joy. But the reality is that the way we fly today is harming our precious planet. Advances in electric and hydrogen flight technology have laid the groundwork for us to achieve truly emissions-free flight before this decade is out and we now need to sprint towards that goal. It will require courage from the global aviation community - incumbents, startups, investors and regulators. This is our generation’s moonshot moment and we must not let it pass us by. With our all-electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, we’re well on the way to making this vision a reality.
Paul D Williams
Professor of Atmospheric Science
The University of Reading's ambitious and detailed plan to become Net Zero Carbon by 2030 has been named as the best in the UK in The Energy Management Awards 2021, run by the Energy Managers Association. Our Net Zero Carbon plan considers every aspect of our operations, including shifting buildings to carbon-free heating, cutting emissions from national and international business travel, and reducing waste and improving efficiency across the estate.
