The South West’s aerospace sector has been recognised as a “world leader” in sustainable aviation, as part of a government drive to attract investment into the region.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has identified the South West as a “global destination” for aviation business and research into new and emerging technologies, which could be used to help decarbonise the industry.
The High Potential Opportunity (HPO) programme will outline the area’s existing aviation ecosystem - which includes giants of the trade such as Airbus and GKN Aerospace - and rich aerospace heritage, to potential investors around the world.
