Farnborough International Airshow Connect is a Success

: Jul 28, 2020 - : 4:05 am

As many as 14,000 delegates from 97 countries came together virtually at Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) Connect, the world’s first major digital trade event for the aerospace and defence industries.

Over five days, 240 representatives, including the CEOs of Airbus, Leonardo, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Meggit and Emirates, spoke at the conference that was broadcast by FINN – the Farnborough International News Network. The event was opened by Alok Sharma, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence.

“Farnborough has an enduring reputation for technological ingenuity and through FIA Connect our team demonstrated an ingenuity of our own,” said Gareth Rogers CEO of Farnborough International. “In just a matter of months, we created an event that enabled the global aerospace industry to have vital conversations at a time it is enduring the biggest challenge in its history.”

In addition to the conference programme, nearly 460 on-line meetings took place through the FIA Connect platform as part of the week’s Meet the Buyer procurement event that saw 75 buyers meet 244 suppliers.
