Aerospace Tech Week (ATW) will bring together senior executives and technical leaders from across the aviation and aerospace sectors. The partnership with ADS Group will ensure the new London edition is firmly embedded within the UK aerospace ecosystem.

Daniel Boyle, General Manager at Aerospace Tech Week, said: “The event brings together the leaders shaping the future of aviation technology, so partnering with ADS is a natural fit. As the UK’s leading trade association for aerospace, defence, security and space, ADS represents a powerful network of innovators and industry stakeholders. We are delighted to be working together to strengthen engagement across the ecosystem and ensure Aerospace Tech Week continues to provide real value, meaningful connections and forward-looking insight for the industry.”

Balaji Srimoolanathan, Aerospace Director at ADS Group, said: “We are pleased to partner with Aerospace Tech Week as it launches its first UK edition, and to have another opportunity to showcase the innovation, ambition and global competitiveness of the UK’s aerospace, defence, security and space industries. ATW provides an important platform for industrial collaboration across the entire ecosystem.

"With more than 1,800 member companies spanning the full breadth of the supply chain, we are committed to forming partnerships that connect industry with new opportunities, new technologies and new international relationships. We look forward to supporting a successful inaugural event and ensuring the UK’s world-leading expertise is front and centre as the sector continues to innovate, export and grow.”

Originally held in Munich, Aerospace Tech Week’s strategic move to the UK ensures it can better serve the evolving needs of the aerospace industry. The event will bring together airlines, MROs, ANSPs, OEMs and their partners to explore the latest developments, including across avionics, connected aircraft, MRO IT, flight operations technology, cybersecurity and sustainability.
