5/14/24, 4:50 PM ICAO selects UAE to host 4th Global Implementation Support Symposium in 2025
He added that these efforts have been reflected in the UAE's success in hosting many
major international conferences and exhibitions in the aviation sector. The selection of the

UAE to host the 4th ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium reaffirms the

international community's confidence and the strength of the partnership between the
UAE and the ICAO and its member states.

"We are thrilled to partner with the UAE in hosting the 2025 ICAO Global Implementation

Support Symposium," said ICAO Council President Salvatore Sciacchitano. "The UAE
has repeatedly demonstrated its dedication to fostering innovation and sustainability in the

aviation sector, and we are confident that their hosting of this event will provide an
excellent platform for advancing our shared goals."

During the GISS 2024 event, the UAE delegation demonstrated its leadership by

presenting innovative proposals, participating in collaborative initiatives, and sharing
insightful perspectives on the future of aviation. The country's comprehensive and

forward-thinking approach, including innovation, has not only solidified its position as a
global pioneer in sustainable and efficient air travel but also attracted the attention of

potential partners with its innovative solutions.

One of the key highlights of the UAE's participation was its proposal for the Sustainable
Aviation Marketplace (SAM) 2025, which will be hosted alongside GISS 2025. This

specialised marketplace, conceived by the UAE, aims to establish a robust ecosystem;

thereby, the impact of SAM 2025 can be seen globally in every region.

The marketplace will facilitate direct connections among project developers, financiers,

banks, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and other vital stakeholders. These

connections will speed up and increase the outreach of programmes toward a cleaner
Aviation, catalysing partnerships and accelerating the adoption of SAF, LCAF and cleaner

technologies.

Al Suwaidi said that GISS 2025 brings together officials and experts in the aviation sector,

providing an important opportunity to learn about the latest developments in infrastructure,

air transport services, and air navigation services and discuss many key issues on the
international aviation agenda.
