As the first round of pilots under the Airports for Innovation (A4I) consortium reaches completion, participating airports are sharing key lessons learned, challenges faced and tangible outcomes achieved. This session explores how A4I has evolved from a pioneering collaboration framework into a living ecosystem of shared innovation – where airports co-develop, test and scale new solutions together. Panelists will discuss results from ongoing pilots, the value of collective learning and how the upcoming governance model aims to expand participation and accelerate innovation efficiency across the global airport network.

• How Airports for Innovation is reshaping collaboration and shared learning among airports
• Key lessons and real outcomes from the first round of A4I pilots
• How collective experimentation accelerates innovation and reduces implementation risk
• How A4I is maturing into a long-term framework for shared innovation
• Practical next steps for scaling joint innovation across the airport ecosystem
