WHAT IS THE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ZONE?:

The Research and Development Zone brings together the very best in advanced engineering universities, Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) and the agencies that support them, into one central area - creating a vibrant networking and knowledge transfer hub, at the heart of the Farnborough International Airshow.

The model is simple: industry and government sponsorship enables not-for-profit organisations to exhibit at the Airshow, at an affordable price.

The result: the creation of a ‘one stop shop’ providing a focal point for all the innovation needs of industry.

The 2018 event was a resounding success, with exhibitors including Innovate UK, Clean Sky, Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), Universities and industry sponsors including Rolls-Royce and Thales.

If you are a University or RTO who would like to exhibit in the Research & Development Zone, please contact the Sales Team who will be happy to discuss with you. Click here to view the floor plan.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO SEE IN 2022?:

For 2022, the Research & Development Zone will be located in Exhibition Hall 4. The Zone will include a technology showcase feature and ample space for interactive exhibits and technology demonstrations.
