The participation brought together exhibiting companies supported by the Aerospace Brazil project and startups from the Incuba Espaço program, as well as the GACP Summit, an international meeting of aerospace clusters.
Brazil took part in the 2026 edition of the Farnborough International Airshow, held from July 20 to 24 in Farnborough, United Kingdom. The action is part of the Aerospace Brazil sector project, coordinated by PIT, the São José dos Campos Technological Innovation Park, and the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster, in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). Aerospace Brazil has coordinated Brazil’s space and the participation of Brazilian companies at the show since 2010.
The Brazil pavilion served as a collective space for support, institutional agendas and business meetings between Brazilian companies and potential international customers. The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the largest events in the global aerospace sector, bringing together exhibitors and visitors from dozens of countries.
Exhibiting companies, Aerospace Brazil project (ApexBrasil)
The delegation supported by the Aerospace Brazil project includes five exhibiting companies, Moya Aero, AWS Customer Support, Panair, Avionics Services and M&K. The companies work in segments such as aeronautics, MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul), avionics systems, air mobility and specialized services, occupying modules in the Brazil pavilion with a schedule of meetings and prospecting throughout the five days of the show.
Space startups, Incuba Espaço program (AEB)
In addition, the Incuba Espaço program, an initiative of the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), brought space startups to the show, focusing on market prospecting and matchmaking. The startups worked from a shared station at the stand dedicated to presenting solutions in data use and upstream and downstream technologies. The startups present were Visiona, InovaSensor, Verdaxis, Cadox and Grafter Intelligence.
Institutional program and GACP Summit
Throughout the show, the Brazil pavilion held an open program of talks, guided tours for delegations from partner clusters and institutional meetings with authorities and industry representatives.
Alongside the show, on July 24, the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster, a founding member of the Global Aerospace Clusters Partnership (GACP) since 2023, took part in the GACP Summit, an international meeting that brings together aerospace clusters from different countries to exchange knowledge, coordinate joint initiatives and connect production chains.
During the week, more than 350 contacts were made at the show with organizations from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Japan, China and Italy.
