In addition to working with CBP and the National Institute for Standards and Technology, the Apex AEER program is engaging private industry including airlines, airports, and solution providers. Through briefings, webinars, working sessions, and industry events, the Apex AEER program seeks to maintain the highest degree of transparency possible while fostering a collaborative environment in which stakeholder expertise and best practices are solicited and incorporated into proposed solutions.
To help achieve this, Apex AEER has established a stakeholder engagement campaign called "Transforming Airport Borders." Through on-going dialogs with airports, airlines, the traveling public, and other stakeholders, S&T seeks to understand: who is the international air traveler of tomorrow and what will their needs be? What emerging trends in international air travel could help inform innovative applications of technology to airport border operations? What should the international airport border of the future look like? In addition to engaging on these issues, Apex AEER invites stakeholders to submit their original ideas for leveraging technology to transform America's airport borders.
