From June 5th to 9th, the ILA Berlin Air Show took place. In this year’s edition, representatives of Polish SMEs from the aerpospace and aviation sectors were present under the banner of a new project – Poland. Business Forward. Aerospace&Aviation Industry, which has been implemented by the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) since March on behalf of the Ministry of Development and Technology. During the trade fair, representatives of the aerospace sector had the opportunity to showcase their achievements and gain new partners for international cooperation.
The national booth served as an open meeting space for entities targeted by the project. Companies showcased their exhibits and promotional materials, and engaged in business discussions with potential partners. Representatives from the Polish Space Agency were also present to support entrepreneurs in their activities, promote the Polish aerospace sector, and facilitate networking.
On the first day, the official inauguration of the Poland. Business Forward. Aerospace&Aviation project took place with the participation of representatives from the ZBH Frankfurt, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Berlin, POLSA, and the organizers of the ILA Berlin Air Show.
