Agenda

Aerospace Global Forum Welcome

Hear from CEO of ADS, as Kevin Craven introduces the Aerospace Global Forum as a real opportunity for the leaders of industry to come together with academics, government and innovators to consider the existential challenges that the aviation industry is facing both now and in the future.

The challenge and opportunity of the net zero transition

The aviation sector has broadly committed to net zero by 2050 – while high-level roadmaps to achieve this challenging objective exist, there remains broad uncertainty on the specific solutions and on how the sector can fund the transition while continuing to grow equitable access to air transportation. It will take a coordinated effort across the entire ecosystem to achieve the targets 

Unlocking Finance for Net Zero Aviation

Panel: Decarbonizing aviation – bringing together an ecosystem

Getting to Net Zero in aviation will take a collaboration of a broad set of stakeholders, all with their own objectives and constraints. This panel will explore these differences across the value chain and how players can work together to achieve the ultimate objective.

Q&A on Slido #FINN4Horizon

Panel: How should the Defence sector respond to climate change?

Does climate change create significant risks and opportunities for the Defence sector? How should the Defence sector respond, if at all? How can the Defence sector maximise the impact of its climate change response, whilst ensuring that military effectiveness is maintained? 

This session will bring together leaders from the public and private sectors to debate the priorities that will inform the sector’s climate change response and to discuss how coordinated action can be achieved.

The Challenges of reaching the next level in Aerospace Manufacturing

Panel: Industry 4.0: The need for speed

How the benefits of advanced manufacturing can drive faster turnaround times, more sustainable business practices, and better performance across aerospace and defence.

The slow but steady move towards sustainable manufacturing has been driven by several forces, especially a growing urgency to address the profound environmental crises.

A&D manufacturers need to look at how they design, source, manufacture, deliver, and service their products. Significant change is afoot and it necessitates bigger thinking.

Aerospace Global Forum Welcome

50 years of the CAA: Where next for aviation and aerospace?

Panel: Innovation Driving The Future of Flight

Immediate action is needed across the full spectrum of flight to tackle climate change. From subsonic operations, including advanced air mobility, to supersonic flight, international efforts must be aligned.  

At COP 26, member states of the International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition committed to working together to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.50 C.  

This panel discussion will explore how innovation, technology, operations, regulations, policy, public attitudes, and a shared global goal can change the way we fly and help tackle climate change. 

Leading the Future Workforce

Leading the Future Workforce - Why Addressing Skills Gap and Culture Must be a Priority

In this new era of rapid business model transformations that must embrace sustainable value creation and AI fueled operations, driving the right culture from the top with enhanced senior leadership skills will be essential to navigate these transitions.

Enthusing and supporting the future leaders and retaining, developing and attract high performance talent into organization is crucial. In this session we will unpack the core leadership skills needed to lead successful digital transformations and pinch points on the road to accelerated NetZero boy 2030.

Women in Aviation : The Data Debate

Data. Love it or loathe it? Are data gathering and target setting the keys to the success of driving change or a distraction from getting the job done? We bring together leaders from the industry to discuss whether they think data and metrics can help or hinder in pushing the diversity agenda. We ask them to share their experiences and best practice as part of this topical debate.

Networking opportunity.

Fly the Futurespace

The 2022 innovators’ global challenge – Awards Ceremony

As the world looks to a greener future, the aerospace industry must act fast to secure its place as a sustainable sector. Ensuring that the next generation of aviation and aerospace leaders are at the forefront of developing greener and more sustainable technologies in the global race to Net-Zero.

The Air League in collaboration with IAG, Sustainable Aviation and Lockheed Martin believe that this future is in the hands of our young people and the session will explore what the future of a sustainable aerospace sector will look like.

The session will begin with a presentation from the winners of this years’ Global Innovators’ Challenge and continue with an interactive discussion led by IAG, Lockheed Martin and Sustainable Aviation
