Disruption Artificial Intelligence may cause to aviation and aerospace will be the topic of discussion at this year’s Singapore Aerospace Technology and Engineering Conference.

The twelfth edition of the biennial event will take place at the Suntec Convention Centre on February 4 in conjunction with this year’s Singapore Airshow.

SATEC is jointly organised by the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE) and the Republic of Singapore Air Force, Air Engineering & Logistics Department (RSAF, AELD).

Theme conference is: “Embracing Disruption: AI in Aerospace Transformation and Innovation”.

Organiser said it will focus on the development and implementation of new technologies in the aviation industry.

Industry leaders and experts from global aerospace companies and government agencies will be among the speakers who will take part in plenary sessions.

ME7 Gabriel Tham, head of the air engineering and logistics department at the Republic of Singapore Airforce, said:

“We hope that SATEC 2026 serves as the catalyst that strengthens innovation and collaboration across defence and commercial sectors.

“The conversations, partnerships and insights forged here will accelerate the aerospace industry’s collective progress as we thrive in the age of AI.

“We would like to thank all sponsors, partners and participants who have made this conference possible.

“We are confident SATEC 2026 will be an enjoyable, enriching and inspiring experience that expands your perspectives, strengthens your network and fuels your passion for aerospace innovation.”

Kenneth Yeo, president of the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers, added: “The SATEC 2026 conference is dedicated to fostering aviation technology education and enhancing aerospace engineering competencies.

“We look forward to the invaluable papers that will emerge, therefore stimulating discussions that will pave the way for a more interconnected and progressive aerospace landscape.

“Let us come together to embrace disruption and shape the future of aerospace engineering through innovation and collaboration.”
