The Midlands Aerospace Alliance and UKTI's Italian aerospace experts are offering supply chain companies an excellent opportunity to hold 1-to-1 meetings with leading Italian aerospace customers on a special trade mission led by MAA chief executive Dr Andrew Mair.
This mission will focus on the Campania and Puglia aerospace clusters in southern Italy. During the visit delegates will have the opportunity to meet and visit top-level international aerospace companies such as Alenia, AgustaWestland, Cira Italian Aerospace Research Center, Magnaghi Aeronautica SpA, DEMA Design Manufacturing SpA, PIAGIO, RAV Srl, GSE Srl, SALVER SpA and more.
We will also organise networking events which will be invaluable opportunities for companies attending to promote their products and services to decision makers from top-level Italian companies.
The mission follows the great success of the MAA’s previous trade missions organised with UKTI's excellent local experts:
-
the May 2013 mission with UKTI's Ines Montella to the northern Italian aerospace clusters in Turin, Piedmont and Milan, Lombardy, which included 20 hours of 1-to-1 meetings with 17 procurement leaders at 5 key Italian aerospace customers: for a report see here
-
the March 2012 mission with UKTI's Alastair Roberts to hold 50 1-to-1 meetings with procurement leaders at a series of Safran companies including Snecma at the British Embassy in Paris: for a report see here

Cost to participate
In line with the 2013 northern Italian mission, the fee for participating in this mission will be £900 + VAT for MAA members, £1100 + VAT for non-members. There would be a £250 cost for a second participant to be present at the same meetings. This covers UKTI & MAA work; both organisations only recover their costs.
Participants will be responsible for arranging and paying for their own flights and transfer to the hotel in Naples. We plan to block-book hotels and participants will be responsible for paying for their rooms themselves. We estimate the total cost of travel & accommodation to be approximately £700.
