The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a United Nations agency which helps 193 countries to cooperate together and share their skies to their mutual benefit.
Since it was established in 1944, ICAO’s support and coordination has helped countries to diplomatically and technically realize a uniquely rapid and dependable network of global air mobility, connecting families, cultures, and businesses all over the world, and promoting sustainable growth and socio-economic prosperity wherever aircraft fly.
As it enters a new era of digitization, and of incredible new flight and propulsion innovations, air transport is relying more than ever on ICAO’s expert support and technical and diplomatic guidance to help chart a new and exciting future for international flight. ICAO is innovating itself to answer this call, and expanding its partnerships among UN and technical stakeholders to deliver a strategic global vision and effective, sustainable solutions.
GISS serves as a platform to promote sustainable aviation in line with ICAO’s No Country Left Behind initiative, providing opportunities to connect with peers and explore ways to strengthen aviation implementation efforts worldwide.
The Symposium is open to all relevant entities of your State, including but not limited to Ministries, Directorates General of Civil Aviation, international and regional organizations, high-level participants representing the aviation industry and service providers (i.e. air navigation service providers, airport operators, airlines), financial and development institutions, human resources departments, and project/procurement sections, training organizations, academic institutions, and other interested parties.
