Upcoming Trade Shows Farnborough, UK for Aerospace, Airport Technology

When it comes to the British aerospace sector, Farnborough comes to mind almost immediately and it’s not just because it’s the home of the historic Farnborough Airfield. It’s also the HQ of the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC), which is steering the region’s burgeoning aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors to new heights. FAC operates at the core of the UK’s advanced manufacturing landscape, where aerospace and space industries converge. This dynamic region is home to the two largest regional economies in the UK. Not only is it economically significant, but it also boasts the highest population density in the nation, creating a fertile ground for world-class engineering companies specializing in aerospace and defense. FAC is the true engine behind the UK’s aerospace and defense exports, an impressive £31.8 billion industry, second in global sales only to the US. The UK’s aerospace industry, with a total turnover of £23 billion, has surged by 10% since 2010. Notably, this sector has grown by a remarkable 39% in just five years, driven primarily by exports, which constitute a staggering 90% of sales. FAC's mission, as articulated by John Schmidt, global managing director of aerospace and defense at Accenture, revolves around fostering aerospace companies at the forefront of what's possible. It facilitates local and international trade, technology exchange, and development, while nurturing best practices and providing essential training. Notably, it actively engages in national-level advocacy on issues paramount to the sector. The FAC stands as an unshakable pillar in the aerospace and defense community. As the UK’s longest-established aerospace and defense trade association, it supports around 300 companies within southern England. Through its unparalleled experience and expertise, FAC acts as a catalyst for business partnerships as it works to connect large prime companies with the vibrant supply chain, particularly the Small to Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs).
