Farnborough Aerospace Consortium

Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) is a leading trade association representing the aerospace, defence, and space sectors in South and East England. As the UK's oldest aerospace and defence trade organization, FAC supports a network of approximately 300 member companies, fostering collaboration and innovation within the region’s advanced manufacturing cluster. The consortium is dedicated to enhancing the competitiveness of its members by facilitating trade connections, promoting technology transfer, and advocating on key industry issues.

FAC’s core offerings include business development programs, export support, innovation funding, and access to a collaborative network of industry professionals. The consortium organizes topical events, technical presentations, and training opportunities, while also managing sector-specific programs such as supply chain competitiveness, defence technology exploitation, and sustainable aviation initiatives. These services are designed to help members grow their businesses, access new markets, and stay at the forefront of industry developments.

In 2025, FAC has continued to expand its impact through initiatives like the ATI Engagement Day, which brings together stakeholders to discuss UK aerospace strategy and foster industry collaboration. The consortium also highlighted its involvement in the Equal Skies Charter and participation in the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership, underscoring its commitment to diversity and international cooperation. FAC’s annual conference and ongoing events further strengthen its role as a central hub for the aerospace supply chain in the region.
