The MIA has produced a booklet to highlight the participation of motorsport companies at the Farnborough International Air Show and encourage technology transfer between the motorsport and aerospace sectors.
Throughout the show, from 19-25 July, the MIA will introduce a number of motorsport exhibitors to the aerospace business community with the Motorsport Valley Pavilion, a bespoke facility created to develop links between aerospace and motorsport.
This is the first time that a non-aerospace industry sector has been represented at Farnborough International, one of the world's biggest technology-led events. The motorsport industry is poised to make a dramatic impact, with a host of exhilarating demonstrations and spectacular displays.
MIA CEO, Chris Aylett, commented: "Motorsport and aerospace have many synergies. Both sectors are destined to build a long and successful business partnership. I would encourage all aerospace companies to visit the Motorsport Valley Pavilion at Farnborough International, to explore opportunities for technology transfer and grow their business. We are strongly committed to opening new business channels for our members and this latest venture reflects our innovative approach."
MIA Project Manager for Farnborough, Pim van Baarsen, added: "The aerospace sector offers lucrative and exciting opportunities for our industry, both as customers and suppliers, and our participation at Farnborough will help to open many doors."
The 40-page, full-colour booklet, entitled 'Where motorsport meets aerospace', will be available to all those attending Farnborough International 2004. Further copies can also be obtained from Jonathan Webster at the MIA. Tel: +44 (0)2476 692 600 or e-mail:
