Turin, Italy
Join us to meet Italian aerospace customers at Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino, November 2015
The Midlands Aerospace Alliance and UK Trade & Investment’s Italian aerospace experts are starting plans to take a high-quality group of UK aerospace suppliers to Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino 18 - 19 November 2015. The same team recently worked with Italian aerospace clusters to run a very successful trade mission for UK suppliers to meet major Italian aerospace customers. We will be building on the superb contacts made then – to benefit all UK suppliers.
What is Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino?
This is the only big event for buyers and suppliers to meet which is targeted at Italy, Europe’s fourth biggest aerospace industry. It is based on a program of pre-arranged meetings and is a cross between a trade show and a traditional meet-the-buyer event. So international and Italian buyers come to meet you – meetings you have pre-arranged with the event organisers -- at your own booth where you can present your company to best effect alongside other UK companies. It is similar to the International Suppliers Centre at the ILA Berlin airshow that worked really well for the MAA/UKTI-led group in 2012 and 2014. Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino is organised by the same professionals from BCI Aerospace who run the longstanding Aeromart meetings held in Toulouse.
How does it work?
Over two days all participating companies hold a series of pre-programmed meetings with targeted companies. For big players and primes this is a unique occasion to optimise time spent seeking new suppliers and solutions -- this is what attracts them. For suppliers it is an excellent chance to develop new business with customers from one of the world’s biggest aerospace industries as well as other international buyers – all in a structured format.
