Swiss–UK Aerospace Mission 2026

The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the world’s leading trade shows for the aerospace industries. Held every two years, this four-day event brings together senior leaders from industry, government, research institutions, and the investment community from across the globe.
 

Building on this unique international platform, Switzerland Global Enterprise and the Swiss Business Hub UK are offering a dedicated, tailor-made business programme for Swiss companies in connection with Farnborough.
 

This curated programme runs alongside the Airshow and includes additional strategic engagements both at the event and across the Greater London area. It complements your presence at Farnborough Airshow and is exclusively available to companies registering for this Swiss–UK Business Mission.
