Other identified dignitaries in attendance, are the UAE’s minister of economy, and a London’s Heathrow airport executive, both of which are speakers at the event.

UAE As A Blockchain Proponent

The capital of the UAE won the bid to host this conference because of the constant efforts of their government to apply blockchain technology to improve its economic impact at the state levels.

The DG of the country’s aviation authority, the GCAA, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, gave his comment in the press statement saying

“Selecting the UAE is a testament to our leadership’s continuing efforts towards investing in new technologies across different domains including the aviation sector and in maintaining strong partnerships between the government and the private sector, and the continuous endeavors in exploring methods to improve aviation business practices in a dynamic and thriving environment.”

The conference would involve discussions on opportunities in financing, business, and provide opportunities for blockchain application in various areas of aviation ( with a focus on aircraft and other aviation assets)

This conference is occurring only 2 weeks after a blockchain event held in the same city focused on the Fintech space and cryptocurrencies.

In the local authority space, the chairman of the UAE Banks Federation, Abdul Aziz Al- Ghurair gave his opinion saying

“It is essential that we develop frameworks and regulations that govern these technologies and developments”.

As the aviation industry looks towards blockchain technology, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is currently considering blockchain applications in the management of air traffic control.
