SUMMARY:Farnborough Airshow
DESCRIPTION:Every two years\, the global aerospace and defense community converges at the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA)\, one of the most influential events in the industry.

This creates direct opportunities for California firms to connect with OEMs\, primes\, airlines\, militaries\, and space agencies actively seeking next-generation technologies and suppliers. \nFarnborough also serves as a critical forum for government and policy engagement. Beyond the business activity\, it draws senior officials and international delegations\, giving companies the chance to strengthen relationships with U.S. government leaders while building new connections with foreign ministries of defense. \nCost: $8\,500 per eligible small business\, additional fee for corner location. \nContact: Don’t miss this opportunity.
