ADS and The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) are launching the UK Supplier Discovery Tours at the Paris Air Show where international customers will meet with a number of UK suppliers based on a matching of the customer’s needs with the supplier’s capabilities.
Capabilities range from batteries to laser communications; avionics to semi-conductors; rocket motors to space rated propulsion pumps; composite materials to additive manufacturing plus many more. You can find more information in the file ‘Capability List’ which has a list of technologies, product & services that have been identified as key needs by customers, and includes:
-

Full instructions are contained in the How To Join document but key points are:
-
Review the customer & capability lists and describe one or more of your technologies, products or services in the Capability Statement Blank form
-
Tell us which customers would be interested in your capabilities by putting a X against them in the Customer Matching Matrix
Please send your submissions back to Chris Gane chris.gane@dcpm.co.uk, copied to Bill Peterson bill.peterson@trade.gov.uk and aerospace@trade.gov.uk by Friday 7th April.
DBT will collate all the submissions, send them to the selected customers in a UK Capability Brochure and ask them to decide which suppliers they wish to meet. DBT will work with you to set up the meetings either at the DBT meeting room in the UK Pavilion (if you are a visitor to the show) or on your stand (if you are an exhibitor).
