International events for the AED Cluster in 2023
The plan of international events for the year 2023, in which the Aeronautics, Space and Defence Cluster will be represented through joint participations.

International exhibitions and conferences are one of the main channels to engage with foreign actors, present the national ecosystem and establish connections for future business and partnerships.

In 2022, it was possible to return to physical participation in many events across Europe, after two years in which these actions were conditioned by the pandemic. This year, AED intends to consolidate its participation in the main events of the Aeronautics, Space and Defence sectors and also explore new markets.
