Conference focus on navigating the future of aviation!
The aviation industry seems to have a bright future ahead, with an increase in passenger numbers and full order books. Nevertheless, this is also where the industry is confronted with significant challenges. Suppliers must manage a steep ramp-up while dealing with shortages of personnel and materials, as well as rising energy and capital expenses. Moreover, the industry is under scrutiny due to global sustainability efforts. To build a sustainable future for the aviation sector, all stakeholders must work together, innovatively, and promptly. Thus, the Aviation Forum this year will concentrate on the following key topics:
Supply chain and production system: Fostering collaboration for systemic efficiency
The emphasis on collaboration is paramount to achieving systemic efficiency in the supply chain and production system. It's not just about optimizing each link in the chain but about creating a cohesive, resilient system through strategic partnerships and collaborative innovation. From integrating suppliers into the production ramp-up process to leveraging collective expertise for solving complex challenges, this track explores how collaboration across the ecosystem can lead to unparalleled efficiency and performance. Participants will uncover strategies and success stories of collaboration that have led to significant advancements in the production and delivery of aviation services and products.
Net-zero and innovation: Pioneering sustainable flight technologies
