Building upon and expanding beyond the COVID-19 crisis, the theme of the 2022 Innovation Fair will be “Innovation for Enhanced Resilience in International Civil Aviation”. The Fair would be held over three (3) days. This will allow for representatives of States, private sector, academia, UN and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to have substantive conversations on innovation in aviation and how it benefits society at large. In the particular context of the COVID-19 crisis mitigation and recovery, innovations are key to build back better and underscore how international civil aviation is an enabler of global prosperity and interconnectivity, bringing business and people together.

The ICAO Innovation Fair 2022 will take place from 24 to 26 September 2022 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, Canada.

​Building upon and expanding beyond the COVID-19 crisis, the theme of the 2022 Innovation Fair will be “Innovation for Enhanced Resilience in International Civil Aviation”. The preliminary programme is available here.

The States and the industry representatives will be invited to exchange on the challenges, benefits and opportunities presented by innovations as well as on the experiences with their uptake and implementation. The panels will focus on the role of innovation in supporting ICAO’s Strategic Objectives, while the second day will address innovation from an Aviation Security and Facilitation perspective. An in-person exhibition at ICAO headquarters will showcase a range of new technologies and ideas that are being applied, or have the potential to be applied, to aviation.

We are also calling for sponsors and exhibitors for this world-class event which allows for representatives of States, the private sector, academia, the UN and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to have substantive conversations on innovation in aviation and how it benefits society at large. In the context of the COVID-19 crisis mitigation and recovery, innovations are vital to building back better and underscore how international civil aviation is an enabler of global prosperity and interconnectivity, bringing business and people together.
