Exhibition space available in Florida Pavilion at Farnborough Int’l Airshow

ORLANDO, FL (May 24, 2010) – Enterprise Florida invites aerospace companies to exhibit in the Florida pavilion at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow, to be held July 19-25 in Farnborough, England.

Ken Cooksey,
International Marketing Specialist, Enterprise Florida Inc.
(850) 298-6659 or kcooksey@eflorida.com

Three Target Sector Trade Grants are available to eligible first-time participants.  Enterprise Florida awards these grants on a reimbursable basis; companies receive the funds after their participation in an Enterprise Florida-sponsored trade event.  The goal is to help smaller businesses (fewer than 500 employees) expand and diversify their market potential.

Farnborough is one of the aviation and aerospace industry’s largest, most internationally attended tradeshows worldwide, serving as a showcase for aerospace equipment and technology.  It’s also a preferred venue for the world’s civil and military aerospace suppliers and their customers to meet and discuss, finalize and announce their business transactions. 

Farnborough International Ltd, organizer of the biennial event, reports that its 2008 record-breaking show recorded U.S. $88.7b in orders, 1,500 exhibitors from 40 countries, and 152,920 trade visitors.
