It is the most important exhibition dedicated to aerospace, a leading showcase for the presentation of cutting-edge solutions and equipment in the aeronautics and space sectors. An appointment that the Puglia Region has never missed in the last 15 years. Participation in the 2022 edition is organized by the Section for the Promotion of Trade, Crafts and Internationalization of Enterprises with Puglia Sviluppo. A double mission, entrepreneurial and institutional, is planned, during which an important agreement for research programs will be signed and the innovations that will characterize the Apulian aerospace in the coming years will be announced also from a production point of view.
Head of the delegation is the Regional Councilor for Economic Development Alessandro Delli Noci, who explains: “The United Kingdom is a very important partner for Puglia, especially in the aerospace sector. In 2021 it is the second for exports (after the United States) and the third for imports (after the United States and Germany). The export value exceeded the sum of 55.8 million euros in 2021, up by 111.5% compared to the previous year. But the Farnborough Airshow is not only a window on an important market, it is the aerospace event par excellence in which news is announced and the future scenarios of world aerospace, but also national and regional, are realized. For Puglia it is a fundamental event for attracting sector investments. During the mission I will meet, among others, the president of ENAC, the National Agency for Civil Aviation, the president of ASI, the Italian Space Agency, and the top management of Avio Aero, I will sign an important collaboration agreement with ASI and I will announce, with Enac, Aeroporti di Puglia and the Aerospace Technological District, the next joint initiatives so that Puglia continues to be a leading region in the development of aerospace at national and international level, both in terms of research that of sector productions. For the companies in the delegation it will be a significant opportunity for promotion, which will open up new orders and collaborations with international partners “.
