Farnborough International Airshow 2026
20 - 24 July 2026
Meet MTC at Farnborough International Airshow 2026
Discover how MTC is helping aerospace and defence organisations accelerate innovation, strengthen supply chains and scale advanced manufacturing capability.
Farnborough International Airshow brings together the global aerospace and defence community to explore the technologies, partnerships and industrial capabilities shaping the future of flight and security. MTC will be attending alongside High Value Manufacturing Catapult and Aerospace Technology Institute, and we’d love to meet with organisations looking to solve manufacturing challenges, develop new capability and move innovation closer to deployment. Farnborough is positioned as a major global convening point for aerospace and defence, with themes including global security, advanced technology, AI, supply chain and sustainability.
Why meet MTC at Farnborough?
MTC works with organisations across aerospace and defence to help turn ambition into industrial capability. From product and process innovation through to digital transformation, additive manufacturing, automation, supply chain resilience and skills development, we help businesses de-risk innovation and deliver practical manufacturing outcomes. MTC is an independent, hands-on engineering partner with broad capability across advanced manufacturing, digital transformation, supply chain transformation and training.
Whether you are exploring new production methods, looking to improve cost and lead time, validating a technology, or strengthening your UK supply chain, our team can help you identify the right route forward.
- Explore manufacturing solutions for aerospace and defence
- Discuss technology challenges with MTC experts
- Identify opportunities for innovation, collaboration and scale-up
- Understand how to reduce risk, improve resilience and accelerate delivery
- Connect with specialists in advanced manufacturing, digital and supply chain transformation
Aerospace capability
MTC supports aerospace and space organisations to accelerate innovation, industrialise new technologies and strengthen manufacturing capability. We work across the full lifecycle, from early-stage R&D through to production readiness, helping organisations de-risk complex challenges and deliver real-world outcomes.
Additive manufacturing & industrialisation
From design through to verified production, we help aerospace organisations adopt and scale additive manufacturing. As home to the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), we support everything from feasibility and prototyping to full industrialisation.
Digital manufacturing & digital twins
We apply advanced digital tools to optimise production, including simulation, connected factory environments and digital twins that improve decision-making, efficiency and responsiveness across manufacturing operations.
Process innovation & automation
We design, develop and validate new manufacturing and assembly processes, incorporating automation and robotics to improve productivity, quality and repeatability across aerospace production systems.
Production readiness & scale-up
We help organisations move from concept to production by establishing pre-production environments, validating processes and scaling manufacturing capability to meet aerospace standards and demand.
Supply chain transformation
We support the aerospace supply chain to adopt new technologies, improve resilience and respond to increasing demand — unlocking productivity gains and enabling sustainable growth across the sector.
Collaborative R&D and innovation
We work with OEMs, Tier 1s and SMEs on collaborative programmes funded by organisations including ATI, ESA and Innovate UK — helping to accelerate development of next-generation aerospace technologies.
