Navigating the UK aerospace funding landscape for the manufacturing supply chain

The UK's aerospace sector is a world leader in developing new technologies, turning over £35 billion annually and providing 120,000 highly skilled jobs.

For manufacturing supply chain companies, understanding the sector's overall strategy, navigating the funding landscape, and engaging businesses within it can be challenging.

Maximising your chance of R&D funding success

Join us and the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) as we provide an overview of the current aerospace funding programme and offer advice on what the funding covers and how your company can access it.

NATEP programme

You will learn about the NATEP programme, providing mentoring and funding to small and medium sized suppliers in the UK, to help them develop their own innovative technologies to enhance their capabilities and increase their ability to win new business

ATI strategy

Time will also be devoted to the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) strategy, which provides three roadmaps showing the technology and innovation necessary to keep the UK competitive in the global aerospace market.

Projects funded through the ATI Programme (including NATEP) must align with the strategy. Attendees will come away with knowledge of R&D funding possibilities through the ATI, what is required for an application and the technologies that are important to the ATI.
