Draft agenda Revealed for eVTOL insights’ Europe Conference in Toulouse, Early Bird tickets now on sale

eVTOL Insights has released an ear­ly draft of the agen­da planned for its Europe Con­fer­ence, which takes place in Toulouse, France on Octo­ber 15th.

It is hoped the ear­ly release will pro­vide poten­tial del­e­gates with a sneak peek at dis­cus­sions set to take place when lead­ers from across the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM), uncrewed avi­a­tion and next-gen­er­a­tion aero­space sec­tors gath­er in one of Europe’s biggest aero­space hubs.

The con­fer­ence will aim to bring togeth­er air­craft devel­op­ers, drone oper­a­tors, reg­u­la­tors, air­ports, air nav­i­ga­tion ser­vice providers, investors, man­u­fac­tur­ers and pol­i­cy­mak­ers to explore how the indus­try can move from demon­stra­tions and pilot projects towards large-scale deploy­ment and com­mer­cial suc­cess.

The pro­gramme has been designed to reflect the cur­rent matu­ri­ty of the mar­ket, with a focus on com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion, auton­o­my, air­space inte­gra­tion and indus­tri­al growth.

Four Key Themes

The con­fer­ence pro­gramme will be struc­tured around four core pil­lars:

1. Com­mer­cial­is­ing Aer­i­al Ser­vices

Explor­ing how new avi­a­tion ser­vices can cre­ate sus­tain­able busi­ness mod­els and deliv­er real-world val­ue.

Pro­posed dis­cus­sions include:

• Who Pays First? Iden­ti­fy­ing the Ear­ly Win­ners in Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty
• Beyond the Hype: Which AAM Busi­ness Mod­els Are Gen­er­at­ing Rev­enue Today?
• Pre­mi­um Ser­vice or Mass Mobil­i­ty? Defin­ing the Future Pas­sen­ger Mar­ket
• From Pilot Projects to Dai­ly Oper­a­tions: Scal­ing Drone Logis­tics Net­works
• Can Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Trans­form Region­al Con­nec­tiv­i­ty?

2. Scal­ing Auton­o­my

Exam­in­ing how automa­tion and auton­o­my can be safe­ly inte­grat­ed into avi­a­tion oper­a­tions while deliv­er­ing com­mer­cial and oper­a­tional ben­e­fits.

Pro­posed dis­cus­sions include:

• Beyond BVLOS: What’s Still Hold­ing Europe Back?
• Scal­ing from One Air­craft to One Hun­dred
• Human-Machine Team­ing in Avi­a­tion
• The Busi­ness Case for Auton­o­my
• From Automa­tion to Auton­o­my: The Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion Chal­lenge
• AI in Avi­a­tion: Hype, Risk or Com­pet­i­tive Advan­tage?

3. Inte­grat­ing Air­space

Address­ing the chal­lenge of inte­grat­ing drones, eVTOLs, elec­tric air­craft and tra­di­tion­al avi­a­tion into a shared air­space ecosys­tem.

Pro­posed dis­cus­sions include:

• One Air­space, Mul­ti­ple Users
• U‑space Moves from Con­cept to Real­i­ty
• Man­ag­ing Mixed Traf­fic at Scale
• Air­ports as Mul­ti­modal Mobil­i­ty Hubs
• Inte­grat­ing Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty into Europe’s Avi­a­tion Net­work
• Civ­il, Com­mer­cial and Defence Users in Shared Air­space

4. Build­ing Europe’s Avi­a­tion Future

Explor­ing how Europe can cre­ate a glob­al­ly com­pet­i­tive avi­a­tion ecosys­tem through invest­ment, indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion, work­force devel­op­ment and inno­va­tion.

Pro­posed dis­cus­sions include:

• Can Europe Lead the Next Gen­er­a­tion of Avi­a­tion?
• Scal­ing Pro­duc­tion: From Pro­to­type to Indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion
• The Future Aero­space Sup­ply Chain
• Build­ing the Work­force for Advanced Avi­a­tion
• Defence, Dual-Use Tech­nolo­gies and Indus­tri­al Resilience
• The Future of Region­al Avi­a­tion in Europe

A Forum for the Entire Ecosys­tem

The organ­is­ers expect par­tic­i­pa­tion from a broad range of stake­hold­ers across the avi­a­tion val­ue chain, includ­ing devel­op­ers of pas­sen­ger eVTOL air­craft, elec­tric and hybrid-elec­tric air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ers, drone oper­a­tors, logis­tics providers, reg­u­la­tors, air­ports, ANSPs, investors, infra­struc­ture providers and gov­ern­ment rep­re­sen­ta­tives.

Call for Speak­ers

The organ­is­er is cur­rent­ly engag­ing with indus­try lead­ers, inno­va­tors and pol­i­cy­mak­ers to help shape the final pro­gramme.

Poten­tial speak­ers inter­est­ed in con­tribut­ing to keynote pre­sen­ta­tions, fire­side chats or pan­el dis­cus­sions are encour­aged to reg­is­ter their inter­est. The draft agen­da is intend­ed as a frame­work for dis­cus­sion and remains sub­ject to refine­ment as indus­try input is gath­ered in the lead-up to the event.

Join the Con­ver­sa­tion in Toulouse

Locat­ed at the heart of Europe’s aero­space indus­try, Toulouse pro­vides the ide­al back­drop for dis­cus­sions focused on the next phase of avi­a­tion inno­va­tion and deploy­ment.
