The GPPS Energy & Aviation Forum27 is the premier annual gathering of the Global Power and Propulsion Society, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and technology innovators to explore the future of energy, aviation, and propulsion systems. Following the success of previous editions in Zurich, Forum27 is expected to continue its mission of fostering open dialogue on sustainable propulsion, energy security, decarbonization, advanced turbomachinery, hydrogen technologies, future fuels, and emerging aerospace innovations.

Hosted in Zurich, Switzerland, GPPS Forum27 will provide a unique platform for cross-sector collaboration between the aviation, power generation, defense, and energy industries. Participants will gain insights from keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, and technical sessions addressing the challenges and opportunities shaping the global transition toward cleaner and more resilient energy and propulsion systems.

The forum is recognized for its high-level discussions on sustainable aviation, net-zero strategies, energy transition pathways, supply-chain resilience, advanced gas turbine technologies, hydrogen-powered flight, and the evolving geopolitical landscape influencing power and propulsion markets worldwide. Attendees can expect valuable networking opportunities with executives, engineers, researchers, OEMs, government representatives, and investors from across the globe.

As part of the broader GPPS event portfolio, Forum27 aims to accelerate innovation by connecting academia and industry while encouraging knowledge exchange on cutting-edge technologies that will define the future of aviation and energy. The event serves as a catalyst for collaboration, helping organizations navigate the rapidly changing demands of sustainability, energy security, and technological advancement.
