Background
The UAE presents significant opportunities for UK aerospace and defence companies, driven by rapid growth in aviation, major infrastructure investment, and ambitious defence modernisation. As part of wider economic diversification plans, the UAE is investing heavily in aerospace manufacturing, advanced technologies, airport development and military capability, with defence spending expected to reach £23.4 billion by 2029.
Key priorities include:
- Advanced air power
- Maritime aviation
- Integrated air and missile defence
- Autonomous systems
- MRO
- AI
- UAVs
- Advanced air mobility
- Workforce development and supply chain localisation.
A strong focus on sovereign capability is also creating demand for industrial partnerships, technology transfer and local manufacturing.
For UK industry, opportunities span advanced manufacturing, engineering services, avionics, systems integration, training, aftermarket support and emerging aviation technologies. The Dubai Airshow provides a key platform to engage government, military and commercial stakeholders across the region and showcase the latest aerospace and defence innovations.
