2025 Agenda

ANSPs are under increasing pressure to modernize their Air Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) while balancing operational efficiency, budget constraints, and regulatory requirements. Co-development — a collaborative approach in which ANSPs and industry partners jointly develop solutions — offers an alternative to traditional procurement models. This session will explore how direct collaboration with industry partners can accelerate technology adoption, better align solutions with operational and regulatory needs, and reduce long-term costs by reducing reliance on proprietary vendor systems. It will also examine how co-development enables a more iterative and responsive development cycle, strengthens industry partnerships, and builds internal expertise to support sustainable modernization. Co-development is not a panacea but for many ANSPs it can be a strategic and achievable path forward. With the right governance, resourcing, and clarity of roles and responsibilities, organizations can effectively manage the associated complexities and realize meaningful operational and modernization benefits.
