ICAO Innovation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:
The ICAO Innovation Workshop is one of the activities identified in the ICAO Secretariat Strategy on Innovation. It is aimed at creating a learning opportunity for Civil Aviation Authorities and the aviation and innovation ecosystems, and to generate further thinking within participants’ organizations to incorporate new technologies in support of a sustainable civil aviation system.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- For ICAO, the workshop contributes to raising awareness of innovations among States, industry partners and the aviation community at large and to promoting its potential benefits.
- For member States, the workshop supports the development of a better understanding of the regulatory challenges and possible solutions for innovation in aviation and stimulates the creation of innovation ecosystems at the national level.
- Private sector stakeholders, including non-traditional aviation stakeholders are sensitized to the role of regulators.
WORKSHOP STRUCTURE:
