This session will explore pioneering initiatives transforming both aviation and maritime transport, with a strong focus on reducing environmental impact while maintaining performance and reliability.
Participants will meet an ambassador for next-generation electric aviation and hear the story of a transatlantic crossing aboard a zero-emission vessel powered by renewable energy and hydrogen. Together, these perspectives highlight how innovation, engineering, and bold leadership are accelerating the transition across industries.
In Collaboration With: Power48
