5,323

Welcome to the page where we will live-stream ICAO’s World Aviation Forum as it takes place at ICAO Headquarters on 23 September 2019.  Though we broadcast all of the presentations on YouTube Live with SkyLive, you can follow the broadcasts on this page by scrolling below to the event playlists.

With the theme of “Innovation in Aviation”, this year’s Forum is designed for the high-level government officials who are responsible for aviation, transport, science and technology, finance, economic planning, trade, international development and cooperation, and other key portfolios, as well as industry partners and high-tech companies.

During the Forum, it is expected that a series of interactive sessions will lead to the development of policies, business models, regulatory processes and governance that will drive innovation for sustainable aviation development. Furthermore, making frontier technologies accessible and affordable can contribute to the early realization of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals that are set in the UN 2030 Agenda and it also helps support ICAO’s No Country Left Behind (NCLB) initiative.

Make sure to catch all of the recordings – they will become available as the sessions occur. All SkyLive video presentations will be made available for on-demand viewing on this page thanks to Airports Council International (ACI) – with their support, we are able to live stream the presentations as they are taking place!

#IWAF2019 High-level Talks between Government, Industry and Technology Providers and Closing Remarks, Monday, September 23rd (14:10 – 15:40)


Looking toward the future, this dialogue will take place to deliberate “how innovation can be used by governments to increase their efficiency and effectiveness”, “which approach should be taken to make innovation more accessible and deployable” and “what kind of policies can encourage and accelerate the pace of innovation” amongst the three participant groups, i.e. Ministers, top leaders of the industry, and technology providers. Ministers will present the outcome of the Roundtables, to which the latter two groups respond based on their experiences, short-term needs and long-term visions.
