It’s here! FIA’24 has begun, though it doesn’t seem that long ago since we were last here, sweltering in a heatwave.
The Innovate UK Aerospace team are excited to be here alongside our colleagues from across UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Future Flight Challenge. We are also pleased to be joined by Claire Spooner Director for Mobility on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our mission is to help companies to grow through their development and commercialisation of new products, processes and services, supported by an outstanding innovation ecosystem that is agile, inclusive and easy to navigate.
