The Aerospace Growth Partnership

The Aerospace Growth Partnership has launched the '#DestinationNetZero Two Years On' report. Released at #FIA2024, the document highlights the impact of High Value Manufacturing Catapult centres in seizing the opportunities presented by sustainable aviation, including the AMRC’s COMPASS project alongside the Aerospace Technology Institute and Boeing, and the National Composites Centre and #AMRCCymru’s work on Airbus’ Wing of Tomorrow programme. Speaking at the report launch, Minister of State at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Department for Business and Trade, Sarah Jones MP, said: “This government has partnership written through the core of its missions and we are 100% committed to supporting aerospace to drive green growth. “The UK is open for business and I am so excited to partner with the sector as we go into the future together.” AGP industry co-chair, Sir Michael Ryan, added: "Aerospace will always be an innovation-led sector. The UK needs to innovate at pace and industrialise at scale to provide the foundation to continue to secure its advantage. “We have proved that working together is the only way to maintain the dynamism of the UK aerospace sector.” Read the report, here: https://lnkd.in/e8NrXBfM #DestinationNetZero #UKAerospace #Aerospace

Sir Michael Ryan CBE FREng FRAeS CEng, Industrial Co-Chair of the Aerospace Growth Partnership: “The AGP is at the heart of ensuring the UK is well placed to solidify its role as a leader in #AdvancedManufacturing and #SustainableAviation for the decades to come. Since 2022, we have continued to progress on our commitments on co-investing alongside the UK Government towards low and zero carbon technologies, supporting the competitiveness of our supply chain and developing a world-leading workforce in the UK to power our future pursuits. The next 10 years of the AGP will be focussed on building upon the innovations of the sector and ensure our efforts secure the competitive advantage of our industry and the significant contributions that the sector makes to the UK economy and society.” #Partnership #UKaerospace #DestinationNetZero #Aerospace #SupplyChain #Workforce

🌟 Day two at #FIA2024 brought together industry, government, and other key stakeholders in the UK aerospace ecosystem to celebrate the spirit of collaborative innovation and public-private partnership fostered by the Aerospace Growth Partnership. 🤝 We are grateful to Minister of State Sarah Jones MP for joining us to open our event and share the Government’s vision for #growth, highlighting the important role that aerospace plays. The audience also heard from our Industry Co-Chair, Sir Michael Ryan CBE, and the Chair of the AGP Strategy Group, Oriel Petry. 🛫 The most inspiring moment of the morning was undoubtedly listening to our brilliant panel of young leaders in the sector, excellently facilitated by Amy Compton from Rolls-Royce. Thank you to all of them for sharing their stories and perspectives on advancing towards #decarbonisation, increasing #competitiveness, and achieving growth, all while keeping future generations in mind.

Last week, as part of The Aerospace Growth Partnership, I was able to successfully deliver a workshop on the strategic competences required for the future of the UK Aerospace Sector. The workshop, led by Taimur Asif and I, focused on eastablishing and building a strong capability, through the UK supply chain, to support the manufacture and assembly of the next generation of single aisle, composite wings. The event brought together experts from across industry, academia, The Catapult Network, Aerospace Technology Institute, and UK Government to develop industrial roadmaps around three priority themes: raw materials, industrial integration, and tooling for composites. In the coming months, we will work with industry leaders and the UK Government to determine how to implement the proposed solutions. Thank you to all who contributed on the day. Also, thank you to Stephen Cowan, Balaji Srimoolanathan, and Mirza Mahmud for supporting, and ADS Group Ltd for hosting. #FutureAerostructures #StrategicCompetencyAnalysis #AGP

👏 Many thanks to industry, academia, and other colleagues who joined us today in our Future Skills Requirements workshop, kindly hosted by GKN Aerospace at their Global Technology Centre in Bristol. The group discussed specific skill and workforce challenges related to #fuelcells 💧 and #electrification ⚡ , to deliver future aerospace programmes such as hydrogen powered commercial aircraft and #eVTOL. 👩💻 Today we heard about the scarcity of professionals with system engineering skills, the expected increase in demand for experts on materials and #sustainability (end-of-life, circularity...); and the importance of developing and upskilling the #SupplyChain in parallel to the primes and tier 1s advancing new technologies, to ensure capability at scale. 📕 The results of this series of workshops will be published on a 'Skills and Workforce' report later this year, informing skills policy development for the sector and industry skills strategy and education pathways development. Thanks to the team who helped deliver today's session Ollie Wilson Anthony High David Gomez Masipe Helen Brocklehurst Balaji Srimoolanathan John Watton Mirza Mahmud. #workforce #skills #aerospace #uk #collaboration #industry
