Developed by Farnborough International, AGF brings global leaders together, across all industries, sectors and geographies, together to drive conversation and interrogate issues to actively change the world for the better through an aerospace lens.

Setting the agenda for industry in the years ahead, AGF will discuss the future leaders of the aerospace and defence industry and preparing organisations for the new skills needed across sustainability and defence.

The future-focused forum will provide an immersive platform to connect, engage and learn through a diverse five-day programme of inspiring thought leaders and impactful discussions. Working with world-leading consultancies and networks, such as McKinsey and KPMG, as well as US government officials, UK government departments, ADS and other industry associations, AGF will drive cross-sector collaboration in order to achieve deep, long-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate progress towards a net zero future.

Speaking of this year’s instalment of AGF, Gareth Rogers, CEO of Farnborough International Ltd (FIL), said: “Following its successful launch in 2022, the Aerospace Global Forum will bolster its position as a catalyst for progress and will once again be a must-attend feature of the Farnborough International Airshow.

“The aerospace industry plays a vital role in the world’s decarbonisation transformation and global security. The forum’s programme has been developed with like-minded accredited partners to produce actionable outcomes and strategies that will steer leading industry organisations forward.”
