Core Tracks and Strategic Highlights

GTF 2026 features four specialized tracks designed to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the industry:


1. Heavy Gas Turbines in Future Power Systems
Targeting: Utility Companies, EPCs, Decarbonization Strategists
Focusing on carbon neutrality and power system security, this track explores the integration of gas turbines with renewables and energy storage. Key topics include capacity market mechanisms, next-gen high-temperature materials, hydrogen and ammonia fuel blending, digital twin technology, and lifecycle O&M optimization for peak performance.


2. Market Opportunities for Small & Medium Gas Turbines
Targeting: Distributed Energy Users, Data Centers, Oil & Gas, Marine Sector
A deep dive into versatile applications ranging from distributed energy systems for data centers and industrial zones to marine propulsion and offshore oil & gas platforms. Discussions will cover efficiency optimization, emissions compliance, international certification standards, and the digital transformation of MRO services.


3. Commercial Engines: Innovation & Supply Chain
Targeting: Civil Aviation, OEMs, Tier 1 & 2 Suppliers
Centering on the evolution of civil aviation and commercial aero engines, this track addresses reliability enhancement, on-wing life extension, and the green transition (SAF). It provides a platform to discuss global supply chain resilience, material sourcing, and airworthiness certification in the Asian market.


4. General Aviation Propulsion in the Low-Altitude Era
Targeting: eVTOL Developers, UAV Manufacturers, General Aviation Stakeholders
Examining the propulsion technologies driving the booming Low-Altitude Economy, including piston, turboprop, and hybrid-electric engines. Topics include domestic engine certification pathways, overcoming technical hurdles in electric and hydrogen propulsion, and building a robust supply chain for the next generation of air mobility.


Key Activities:
  • High-Level Closed-Door Strategic Sessions: Exclusive, invitation-only forums for global industry leaders, policymakers, and technical decision-makers to deliberate on core strategic issues — including supply chain resilience, carbon neutrality roadmap alignment, and cross-border cooperation mechanisms — fostering high-level consensus and forward-looking collaboration.​
