As aviation races toward electrification, autonomy and AI-driven operations, power becomes the new runway. The exponential demand for electricity, hydrogen and data processing requires airports and airlines to think far beyond traditional infrastructure. This fireside chat explores how strategic energy planning, innovative P3 partnerships and cross-sector collaborations can position aviation as both a consumer and producer in the evolving energy landscape. Participants will examine how airports can anchor grid stability, scale renewable systems and shape the regional economic future through smarter, more resilient power strategies.

• Why energy and data are converging as aviation’s next infrastructure frontier
• Frameworks for airport–utility–industry partnerships that drive energy innovation
• How AI, autonomy and quantum computing will redefine airport power needs
• Strategies to strengthen grid resilience while advancing sustainability and growth
• How airports can leverage power as a platform for regional competitiveness
