Competitiveness, Sustainability and Technological Sovereignty: how can Europe master all three to maintain global leadership in aviation?

This March, Clean Aviation Annual Forum 2026, the flagship European event shaping the future of sustainable flight, returns. Over two days, top policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators will explore how Europe can lead the global clean aviation transition.

Through high-level keynotes and exchanges, strategic panels and dialogues, and networking, participants will consider the “Magic Three” challenge: how can Europe achieve competitiveness, sustainability, and technological sovereignty at the same time?

 

EASN will be there and we invite you to join the highly-anticipated dialogue that is set to prepare Europe’s aviation eco-system for the next EU long-term budget.
