Kah Meng SEE from Safran presented trends foreseen in air mobility. Additionally\, we delved into Airbus’s RACER project with Fabrice Rochereau\, showcasing breakthroughs in helicopters. Professor James Wang from Nanyang Technological University Singapore further enriched the session with his dynamic panel moderation. \n🍃 Sustainability & Innovation: Thomas COCHELIN\, Chair of the Aerospace & Air Travel Committee emphasized that innovation and disruption are vital. The drive to decarbonize air travel is not just a trend\, but a necessity! \n🔧 Technological Aspects: \nKey elements in Air Mobility include SAF feedstock\, synthetic fuel\, hydrogen\, and the conceptualization of air mobility as a service. \nKah Meng spotlighted critical trends: \n· The escalating importance of sustainability.\n· Technological innovations.\n· Addressing road traffic congestion.\n· The perception of air mobility as a service. \nCommercial aviation’s roadmap to net-zero: Approximately 35-40% through tech advancements\, 5-10% via operational improvements\, ~50% with sustainable aviation fuels\, and 5-10% via offset schemes. \nOn the horizon: Adoption of lighter materials\, Safran’s collaborative ventures in electric/hybrid propulsion\, and air mobility solutions to alleviate road congestion. \n🌐 Business Dynamics: Professor\nProfessor @James Wang highlighted the 800+ start-ups worldwide focusing on Air Mobility. While start-ups are quick and agile\, industry leaders like Airbus have more resources for R&D. However\, one consensus stands tall: No compromise on safety and regulations! \n🚁 Helicopter Evolution:\nSafran is pioneering advancements in helicopters with hybrid engines tailored to market needs. Meanwhile\, Airbus leads in VTOL technology\, aiming for a sustainable future in both civil and military sectors. \nNotable initiatives include the Racer and City Airbus projects\, which focus on urban air mobility and broader community services such as medical aid\, connectivity\, and eco-tourism. \nThe new generation emphasizes speed\, cost-efficiency\, and a 20% reduction in both noise and emissions. Keep an eye out: the first flight of the RACER project is slated for 2023\, with more demonstrations on the horizon for next year! \nA heartfelt thank you to Valerie PATUEL and Safran for hosting the panel and for the refreshments. \n

SUMMARY:Economic Outlook 2023: Fading Downsides
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis \nThe key headwinds of 2022\, sharply rising inflation and interest rates\, currency market volatility\, China’s pandemic struggles\, as well as energy and food security concerns\, have begun to fade. Trade is on the weak side\, tech sector is shedding some jobs\, and rates may not be coming down\, but the global economy is emerging from the punches of 2022 on a decent footing.

Lingering risks include the war in Ukraine\, China-US rivalry\, financial market volatility\, and re-emergence of inflation in late 2023 as demand remains resilient. \nAt the same time\, it is important to note that economies in the Asia Pacific\, many of which rely heavily on imported goods\, are vulnerable to the consequences of supply chain disruption for production and consumption. Promoting flexible and resilient supply chains will be key to weathering the storm. \nJoin us for our annual Economic Outlook for insightful presentations and panel discussions with notable industry leaders. \n  \nProgramme \n3.45 pm Registration Opens\n4.20 pm Welcome Remarks by Mr Justin Ong\, Senior Sales & Leasing Manager\, Sales & Leasing Group\, Far East Organization\n4.25 pm Opening Remarks by Mr Kelvin Brace\, Regional Head\, Product Sales\, Transaction Banking at DBS Bank\n4.30 pm 2023 Economic Outlook by Dr Taimur Baig\, Managing Director and Chief Economist at DBS Bank\n4.50 pm Presentation on Supply Chain Disruptions by Mr Sudhan Sundaram\, Supply Chain Practice Lead at Accenture\n5.00 pm Q&A moderated by Mr Carl van der Elst\, Co-Chair of the EuroCham Financial Services Committee\n5.05 pm Questions from the audience\n5.25 pm Closing Remarks by EuroCham\n5.30 pm Networking Session \nLight refreshments will be served.  \nThe organisers reserve the right to change the programme content without giving prior notification or any reasons thereof. \n  \n\n  \nSpeakers \n  \nDr Taimur Baig\nManaging Director and Chief Economist\nDBS Bank \nTaimur Baig\, Ph.D.\, heads economics as well as macro strategy for interest rate\, credit\, currency\, and equities at DBS Group Research.

Anand emphasized that as we progress towards sustainability and technology\, there has been an impressive 80% reduction in emissions per seat. Airbus is actively pursuing solutions to foster collaboration throughout the entire ecosystem\, enhancing connectivity and bringing people together\, all while prioritizing sustainability. Airbus’s primary focus is on discovering pragmatic and implementable solutions. \nThe advancements in sustainable air travel are evident\, with planes now 25% more efficient. Through fuel optimization\, improved flight path solutions\, enhanced on-ground operations\, the use of taxi bots\, green electricity\, AV technology\, data analysis\, and leveraging data for optimization and reporting\, the industry is embracing cutting-edge technologies. Notable initiatives like Aeroshark from Lufthansa further contribute to the progress towards a more sustainable aviation future. \nKey highlights also included the development of an eco-friendly Terminal 5 at Changi Airport\, strategies to reduce engine usage during landing and taxiing using taxibots. \nIt was intriguing to discover how Airbus\, Lufthansa\, and Changi Airport are optimizing their operations to enhance efficiency and decrease emissions. \nThe event featured a distinguished panel of experts – Philipp Bonkatz\, General Manager from Lufthansa Group\, Jack Z. Zhang\, Assistant Manager for Terminal 5 Specialised Systems from Changi Airport Group\, Patrick Goh and Hélène Burger from Airbus. \nFabrice Espinosa\, CEO of Studio28 ltd\, skillfully moderated the discussion.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Green Consumer and Sustainable Travel
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis \nWith borders slowly opening up both here in Singapore and elsewhere around the world\, many are starting to consider the logistics of travelling again. While sustainable travelling may have been on consumers’ minds previously\, the pandemic has brought it to the forefront in a more profound manner. Booking.com’s 2021 Sustainable Travel Report shows that not only do 81% of global travellers believe that sustainable travel is vital\, but also 61% of those surveyed indicate that the pandemic has made them want to travel more sustainably in the future. \nIt is important to note that sustainable travel is not just about the individual consumer who is pushing for greener choices in their travel itinerary. It is also about the greener choices corporate consumers can make through their investments and support for the industry-wide change being driven by a switch to alternatives such as airlines operating via sustainable aviation fuel\, or properties and hotels that are going plastic-free\, land transport that incurs low energy waste\, etc. \nDespite the desire to travel sustainably\, it has been observed that travellers still struggle to do so. The industry has yet to see a large-scale change in consumer behaviour and it would be valuable to discuss how companies can accelerate sustainable travelling given their insight into the constraints faced by consumers. Overall\, this webinar seeks to understand the role companies within the travel ecosystem can play in pushing sustainable travel to the next level. \n  \nProgramme \n4.15 pm Webinar Waiting Room Opens\n4.30 pm Welcome Remarks by EuroCham\n4.35 pm Opening Remarks by Mr Federico Donato\, President of Eurocham Singapore\n4.40 pm Presentations\n– Thomas Loughlin (Booking.com)\n– Edith Kraaijeveld (Air France KLM)\n– Jon Cannon (Accor)\n5.25 pm Moderated Q&A and Panel Discussion by Ms Marjolein Oyen\, Innoboost\n5.55 pm Closing Remarks by Ms Nele Cornelis\, Executive Director\, EuroCham Singapore \n  \nSpeakers \n  \nThomas Loughlin\nSustainable Supply Lead\nBooking.com \nThomas Loughlin is the Sustainable Supply Lead at Booking.com.
