STRIVES
DESPITE THE PANDEMIC
On 15. and 16. December 2022,
the sixth Global e-Flight-Forum
was hosted in Kunshan, a charming
tourism city near Shanghai,
in a ‘hybrid’ format with both the
on-site event in Kunshan and online
live streaming to a global audience.
Since the first forum in
2017, it has evolved into one of the
world’s most professional annual
events in the field of electric aviation.
This year’s forum was no exception.
Based on the successful
experience of the past five years,
it attracted nearly 60 speakers
from regulators like EASA and
CAAC;leading OEMs like Wisk,
Autoflight, Volocopter, and CO-
MAC; key suppliers like Rolls
Royce, FACC and CATL;and universities
and research institutes
like TUM and BUAA to speak in
six sessions. Limited by the initial
local COVID policy, no public
event held in the city was permitted
to accommodate more than
150 attendees when the forum
was being organized. Fortunately,
a few days before the opening
day the restriction was lifted, so
in the end over 200 people managed
to come to the venue and
many more watched the online
live streaming.
