Abstract

Year 2024 marks the 105 th anniversary of establishing Polish-Italian diplomatic relations.

Nearly a century ago Italy proudly participated in the creation of Polish aerospace sector, back in the times where only a handful of nations could dream of manufacturing planes by themselves. Today, the value of Polish-Italian friendship remains immeasurable. Every day our nations benefit from economic, technical, cultural, and military cooperation, fostering collaboration and equal partnership. Aerospace sector is no different – never before have Italian and Polish pilots, engineers and commanders worked closer with one another. The numerous joint NATO exercises, as well as the presence of Italian Air Force component in Malbork stands as a testament to our friendship.

The 4 th edition of the Italian-Polish Aerospace Forum intends to focus on the cooperation between our two nations in the aerospace and defence sector. During a full day of panel discussions and meetings we will explore the benefits of the industrial cooperation in the aerospace sector, dive into the growing space economy and the Italian and Polish contributions and compare the approach of each nation to the importance of UAVs on the battlefield.
