Wednesday, June 17, 2026

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly reshapes the global economy, much of the public conversation has focused on long-term risks and opportunities. At the same time, leading industrial companies are already deploying AI at scale—driving measurable gains in productivity, workforce efficiency, and operational resilience.  

Meridian will bring together senior industry executives, government stakeholders, and key members of the diplomatic community to discuss how AI is reshaping aviation manufacturing, supporting airline customers, and offering new opportunities for skilled workers. The session will include a demonstration highlighting real-world AI applications in aerospace operations and emerging aviation technologies. 

Using aerospace as a leading-edge case study, the discussion will explore the policy and international partnerships needed to scale these advances and support long-term global competitiveness through the lens of maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities – the linchpin that keeps today’s planes flying.
