Over Thirty Years of European Aerospace Experience

Civil and military aerospace is at the core of our team's experience, accumulated over more than thirty years. We have established relationships across Europe's major aircraft programmes, engine manufacturers, aerostructure companies, and their supply chains, from engineering and procurement through to senior programme management.

Our coverage spans the full aircraft lifecycle: design, production, systems integration, and MRO. Whether your products are precision-machined castings, filtration systems, composite structures, or avionics, we know where they fit in European aerospace and who makes the procurement decisions.

European Defence at a Turning Point

Our team has over thirty years of experience in defence aerospace: combat aircraft programmes, missile systems, and defence electronics. We have established relationships with Europe's major defence primes across GCAP, Eurofighter Typhoon, F-35 European workshare, FCAS/SCAF, and the platforms these programmes feed into.

European defence spending is now at its highest level in decades. NATO members are accelerating towards and beyond the 2% GDP target, with major rearmament programmes in Germany, Poland, Italy, and across Scandinavia. This is driving unprecedented demand across land systems, munitions, energetics, and ammunition production, sectors where our coverage is expanding alongside the market. Across Central and Eastern Europe, NATO allies are modernising forces, building ammunition capacity, and investing in next-generation capabilities, creating new opportunities for overseas defence suppliers.

Whether your products serve combat aircraft, land systems, munitions, energetics, or defence electronics, we can connect you with the right programmes and procurement teams across the continent.

From Established Aerospace Hubs to Growing Defence Markets

Our coverage spans established Western European aerospace and defence centres through to the rapidly expanding markets of Central and Eastern Europe.

Western Europe

The heart of European aerospace and defence. Home to Airbus, BAE Systems, Safran, Leonardo, Thales, and the other major OEMs that anchor continental supply chains. Our deepest coverage: daily access to procurement, engineering, and programme teams across civil aviation and defence.

United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Greece

Northern Europe and Scandinavia

Saab in Sweden, Kongsberg in Norway, and expanding defence procurement across Finland and Denmark. Scandinavia combines advanced defence technology with growing budgets driven by NATO's northern flank priorities. Strong in combat aircraft, missiles, munitions, surveillance, and electronic warfare.

Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark

Central and Eastern Europe

Europe's fastest-growing defence markets. NATO allies in this region are significantly increasing defence spending, modernising land and air forces, building ammunition production capacity, and investing in next-generation capabilities. Active offset and industrial participation programmes create opportunities for overseas suppliers.

Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

Turkey and Israel

Turkey has a rapidly expanding defence industrial base with growing combat aircraft, UAV, and munitions capabilities. Israel is a world leader in defence technology, electronic warfare, and unmanned systems. Both markets have distinct characteristics that require tailored approaches and local knowledge.
