Hall 4 Stand E12
Showcasing south east companies at
the international tradeshow, Farnborough International 2004 is the
objective of a new state-of-the-art exhibition Stand run by the
Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC). The Stand is
supported by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).
Among the 16 major exhibitors displaying products and promoting
their services will be Cranfield University, SES (Specialist
Electronic Services) the Raven Alliance and the UAVS (Unmanned Air
Vehicles Association).
Featuring high-tech display pods and booths and a rotating "wall of
excellence" for FAC businesses, the innovative two-tier stand,
adjacent to the Society of British Aerospace Council (SBAC) stand,
is at the heart of the UK Village, and will be a focal point for
delegates during the show. On the top tier, a series of events,
receptions and presentations will take place, featuring key players
within the aerospace and defence industries. During the show the
Stand will be visited by senior ministers and overseas trade
delegations. Drop by to see what the best of the South East
aerospace and defence industries have to offer, and to discover what
the FAC can do for your business.
