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:

The workshop is delivered in an online format over two days.  

Module 1: Innovation in aviation
Background information and the views of States and industry on how to support the development of innovation ecosystems and what such development entails.
Module 2:  Regulatory challenges and solutions
Examples of regulatory challenges faced by States and solutions implemented to support the deployment of innovations.
Module 3:  Adaptive organizational management and creating a culture of innovation
General principles based on what States are undertaking to create and maintain a culture of innovation, including organizational changes to adapt to a fast-evolving ecosystem or the adoption of new methods of work.  
Module 4: Case study: Utopia
A tabletop exercise simulating the development of a high-level roll-out plan on innovation.
