The ADS SME Spotlight is back for 2026 with a refreshed quarterly format designed to give small and medium-sized members stronger, more consistent visibility across our platforms.
SMEs make up over 95% of the ADS membership, and as our sectors continue to evolve, it’s essential that we understand the unique priorities and challenges they face. The updated Spotlight aims to support this by giving SMEs a clearer platform to promote their capabilities, attract collaboration, and unlock new business development opportunities.
The goal of the SME Spotlight is simple: to provide an enhanced service for new SME members and raise their visibility across the wider ADS community, Government and its agencies, and key stakeholders.
Each edition showcases a diverse mix of innovative companies from across the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors. For SMEs navigating uncertainty, scaling capability, or seeking new partners, the Spotlight offers a valuable route to reach the audiences that matter.
Throughout 2026, we will continue shaping the Spotlight to better serve our members — mapping out what each benefit includes, how it works, and why it supports growth. We’re committed to strengthening the SME experience within ADS, ensuring our members have the visibility and support they need to thrive.
