World’s Leading Event for Advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Following a mandate year in 2025, 2026 marks a critical turning point for the industry. The SAF Global Summit 2026 (#SAFGlobal26) returns to London on September 22-23! This prestigious event unites visionary leaders with a singular mission: building global momentum by powering SAF through policy, investment, and innovation. Over 700 top executives from across the value chain—including policymakers, energy leaders, producers, investors, airlines, and OEMs—will gather to transform ambitious targets into meaningful progress.

The 2026 edition will focus on four key pillars: robust policy, strategic investment, scaled production and effective supply chain logistics, and innovative technologies. Initiatives like REFUEL EU, the UK Mandate, and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are key to driving the movement forward through collaborative policy efforts. By engaging public investors and pioneering ventures, the summit aims to fuel investments that create a more scalable market. By developing efficient supply chains to meet the surging demand for SAF, green corridors will bridge regions with SAF through cross-continental bonds. By turning cutting-edge technologies from the lab into practical applications, innovation will be driven forward.

Join us to collectively power the future of flight. This is where the blueprint for 2030 and beyond will be written.
