AERO-ENGINES EUROPE 2026

AERO-ENGINES EUROPE 2026: Pioneering the Future of Aviation Propulsion
Date: September 1–2, 2026
Location: Lisbon, Portugal

AERO-ENGINES EUROPE 2026 is the premier industry summit dedicated to advancing innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in aerospace propulsion systems. Hosted in Lisbon—a hub of European aerospace R&D and green technology—the event will gather 500+ global leaders, engineers, policymakers, and researchers to address the critical challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of aero-engines.

Core Themes & Focus Areas
The summit centers on four strategic pillars:
1. Sustainability & Decarbonization: Exploring hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), and hybrid-electric propulsion to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
2. Technological Innovation: Showcasing breakthroughs in additive manufacturing, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and next-gen materials (e.g., ceramic matrix composites).
3. Supply Chain Resilience: Strategies for optimizing global supply chains amid geopolitical shifts and raw material shortages.
4. Regulatory & Policy Alignment: Navigating EU’s Clean Aviation and Single Sky initiatives to accelerate certification and market deployment.

Key Highlights
- Expert Panels: Industry leaders from Rolls-Royce, Safran, GE Aerospace, and Pratt & Whitney will discuss engine efficiency, noise reduction, and urban air mobility.
- Technical Workshops: Hands-on sessions on digital twins, combustion optimization, and hydrogen combustion testing.
- Startup Showcase: Emerging innovators in eVTOLs, space propulsion, and sustainable fuels will pitch disruptive technologies.
- Policy Roundtables: European Commission and EASA officials will outline regulatory frameworks for SAF adoption and emissions standards.

Why Lisbon?
Portugal’s strategic location, advanced engineering ecosystem (e.g., TAP Maintenance & Engineering), and commitment to green aviation make it ideal. The city’s connectivity and focus on renewable energy align with the event’s sustainability ethos.

Who Should Attend?
- Engine OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and MRO providers.
- Airlines, regulators (EASA, FAA), and policymakers.
- Academics from MIT, TU Delft, and Cranfield University.
- Investors and startups in propulsion tech.

Expected Outcomes
AERO-ENGINES EUROPE 2026 aims to foster collaborations, accelerate R&D timelines, and position Europe as a leader in sustainable aviation. Attendees will gain actionable insights to drive innovation, reduce costs, and meet stringent environmental targets.
