Future Needs at the “Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit”: Driving Urban Air Mobility Innovation

January 24, 2025

Future Needs is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming “Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit (TSAS),” organised by Association Aéronautique et Astronautique de France (3AF) , which will be held in Toulouse, France, from January 28 to 30, 2025. Head of Research and Founder Anna Palaiologk and Georgia Nikolakopoulou, Head of Dissemination, will represent Future Needs at this key event.

Anna Palaiologk will deliver a key presentation on the study “Integrating Urban Air Mobility into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans: A Framework and Occupational Profiles for Smart Cities.” The TSAS 2025 summit, a hub for innovation and collaboration, features 34 sessions, nearly 140 speakers, 111 presentations, and 9 roundtable discussions.

Introducing the SUAMI Framework

The presentation will highlight the Sustainable Urban Air Mobility Indicators (SUAMI) framework, which builds upon the established Sustainable Urban Mobility Indicators (SUMI). SUAMI evaluates the environmental, societal, and operational impacts of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) solutions, including air taxis and drones. By equipping urban planners and policymakers with these indicators, the SUAMI framework ensures seamless integration of UAM into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, prioritising sustainability, efficiency, and safety.

Empowering Cities with New Occupational Profiles

The research also addresses the evolving demands of smart cities by proposing updated occupational profiles for critical UAM roles, such as drone pilots, airspace managers, and urban planners. These profiles aim to prepare cities with the expertise necessary to support UAM adoption and integration with existing transportation systems.

Shaping the Future of Sustainable Urban Mobility

Through the SUAMI framework and updated occupational profiles, Future Needs is committed to guiding smart cities toward sustainable, secure, and efficient mobility solutions.

Stay tuned for updates from the TSAS 2025 summit as Future Needs continues to shape the future of urban mobility!
