EASA Innovative Air Mobility Implementation Forum

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is pleased to announce the launch of its Innovative Air Mobility Implementation Forum, organised in collaboration with: AME, ASD, DAE, GUTMA, and JEDA. The event, introduced by EASA’s Executive Director, Florian Guillermet, will start with a half-day session dedicated to exchanges among authorities and industry executives. The focus of discussions will be the status of the innovative air mobility and U-space regulatory framework, as well as the industry market forecasts guiding the efforts of EASA and national authorities in the next years. This will also be the opportunity to present, in collaboration with the European Commission, the implementation status of the European Drone Strategy 2.0.

The event will continue with one and a half days of discussions and presentations divided in different workstreams. The event will be an opportunity for all actors in the IAM eco-system to exchange on technical & regulatory matters as well as issues related to societal acceptance. EASA expects this event to be a great opportunity to have discussions about the main regulatory implementation issues and proposals on best practices to support a safe & sustainable development of the EU drone market. 

To ensure an adequate representation of all stakeholders, members of the European UAS industry associations received a priority for in person participation.

Registration for in person participation is now open also to non-members of EU UAS associations for the remaining seats.  Please use the tool below for registration and wait for a confirmation that you have been admitted to join the meeting in person. Please be aware that there is no limit for the online participation and, in this case it is free of charge. Still we ask you to register. 

The participation cost (covering catering and organisational expenses) will be as follows:

• in-person participation: EUR 160 for the full event; or
