Diversify into aerospace

Aerospace is widely recognised as a long-term high-growth market, and in the Midlands it is one of the economic clusters where the region can ignite above-forecast levels of growth.

The MAA team can assist companies with: 

• identifying the best market opportunities for their businesses.
• aligning their strategies and operations to meet industry-specific requirements.

The approach

The MAA provides a comprehensive programme of support designed to maximise participating companies’ opportunities for success. 

Events

Events cover a variety of topics important to the aerospace industry including an introduction to aerospace/space, advanced manufacturing, continuous improvement, quality, digitalisation, intellectual property, sales and marketing, innovation funding opportunities, sustainability, and more.

Opportunities to meet potential customers:

Visits are organised to aerospace industry primes and tier 1s as well as meet-the-buyer events, which offer exclusive opportunities to meet major companies and potential customers.

Exhibitions

The MAA organises opportunities for companies to exhibit at major airshows so they can showcase their products, services and capabilities.

The impact

Opening up aerospace for more businesses

Aerospace is known for being a complex industry with high barriers to entry which can create insurmountable obstacles for some companies. The MAA is working to break down these barriers by giving companies a greater understanding of critical aspects of the industry, helping them make contacts and take advantage of exclusive opportunities to access major customers.

Helping companies identify new suppliers

As the MAA offers options for companies to meet customers, exhibit and network, their products, services and capabilities are presented to a new audience, one which is actively looking for aerospace solutions. Not only is this a great opportunity for participating companies, this gives potential customers the chance to identify new suppliers.
