International air transport drives the global economy. The increasing air traffic volume, along with economic demands for increased capacity and efficiency as well as environmental pressure require next generation surveillance problem solving. These activities involve technologies and procedures operating in the air and on the ground as well as at airports in support of SESAR1 4Dtrajectory/ ASAS2 and A-SMGCS3 operational concepts.

This 1st Digital Ship Copenhagen will address strategic and practical challenges that all companies are facing at present.

This symposium will serve as a forum for the exchange of views and information on competition issues amongst policy makers, air transport regulators, industry representatives, aviation professionals, competition law experts and other stakeholders. It will offer participants the opportunity to examine practical solutions to competition issues including, but not limited to, the role of government under the liberalized market, the application of competition rules to international air transport, aviation-specific safeguards, air connectivity and competitiveness in a liberalized market.

Speakers will include high-level representatives from civil aviation and competition authorities, airlines, airports, academia and international organizations. The discussions will provide valuable insight on competition issues from the perspective of civil aviation stakeholders and assist in the ongoing effort in the development of multilateral arrangements for liberalization of market access, air carrier ownership and control.

The Symposium will also allow the aviation industry to showcase their trade, including new technologies, on-going research and development activities, as well as products and services pertinent to the air transport sector.

Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) is one of Asia’s biggest exhibitions and conferences focusing on shipbuilding & marine, workboat and offshore.

Big Data from Space refers to the massive spatio-temporal Earth and Space observation data collected by space-borne and ground based sensors. This emerging domain is currently facing sharp increase – fortunately paralleled by tremendous amount of new developments and breakthroughs software developments – such as multi-temporal data analysis, data management and information extraction technologies. In addition, the recent multiplication of open access initiatives to Big Data from Space is giving momentum to the field by widening substantially the spectrum of users as well as awareness among the public while offering new opportunities for scientists and value-added companies.

This symposium is a continuation of the first International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Aerospace Symposium held in ICAO Headquarters, Montréal in March 2015

The Oceanology International event offers the world’s leading forum where industry, academia and government share knowledge and connect with the marine science and ocean technology communities.

The KTN, RIN and GLAs are running and event exploring all technologies for robust, cost-effective ship navigaiton over the next fifteen years.

The event will consider the challenges, capabilities, limitations, development potential and practicability of candidate technologies and how they may contribute within a future ship/shore Integrated Navigation solution. The perspectives of user needs, research, technology readiness level, commercial exploitation, ship equipage, shore-based infrastructure, regulatory action are all important in assessing the future direction of maritime solutions. The integrity of navigation information used within the future digital bridge systems and e-Navigation services is vital to the safety of maritime operations, avoiding collisions and groundings in increasingly congested sea areas.

The Munich Satellite Navigation Summit is an conference with global impact dealing with satellite navigation now and in the future.

This year, the event will focus on issues around innovation, efficiency and smart strategies.
