Utah’s aerospace industry is primed for take off following an impressive showing at the Paris Air Show. Taking place in tandem with the governor-led trade mission to France and the U.K., Utah aerospace and defense companies forged new ties with industry and investment stakeholders in the region.

On the mission, the Governor signed a landmark MOU on trade and economic cooperation between the U.K. and the state of Utah. To mark this event and continue the momentum, the UK’s Department for Business & Trade and WTC Utah, supported by the Utah Aerospace & Defense Association (UADA), brought together U.K. and Utah companies to highlight and explore mutual business opportunities across the aerospace, defense, and space sectors.

U.K. space-related organizations generate an income of £17.5 billion/year, supporting over 48,000 jobs and leading satellite manufacturing and operations capabilities. We were pleased to host the UK Space Agency (UKSA), Satellite Applications Catapult (SAC), Scottish Development International (SDI), Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC), the Science and Innovation Network (SIN), and other private sector companies.
