The organization of ADM Sevilla means the consolidation of an internationalization strategy for the sector that is developed by the Regional Ministry, through Andaluc\u00eda TRADE and with the collaboration of the Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace cluster. To this end, the public agency supports the Andalusian aerospace cluster with an intense program focused on participating in the main international fairs, the development of trade missions to the main markets and other types of internationalization actions, in which throughout 2023 the up to 44 Andalusian companies have participated.<\/p>\n

In addition, the event is supported by Aer\u00f3polis, the Andalusia Aerospace Park, the TecnoBah\u00eda de C\u00e1diz Technology Park, CATEC-Centro Avanzado de Tecnolog\u00edas Aeroespaciales, and Invest in Spain (ICEX), from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.<\/p>\n
The presentation of this new edition of ADM has been carried out within the framework of the Paris Air Show-Le Bourget fair, held from June 19 to 25, at the French airport of Le Bourget, and has welcomed the presence of 10 Andalusian companies, seven of which have had the support of Andaluc\u00eda TRADE within the Spanish Pavilion, organized by TEDAE. These firms are Sevilla Control, Skylife Engineering, Aerotecnic Metallic, UMI Aeron\u00e1utica, Indaero and Sofitec, and M&M from C\u00e1diz. In addition, outside the space organized by the Junta, the firms of the Andalusian cluster Aciturri-Alestis (Seville), Aernnova (Seville) and Aertec (M\u00e1laga) attended.<\/p>\n
Finally, the cluster of this industry in the region, Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace, is also present. It represents a sector made up of almost 100 companies and entities, and coordinates its activity with Andaluc\u00eda TRADE in this fair and in many other actions, under the agreement signed this year by the Regional Head of Economy, Finance and European Funds, Carolina Espa\u00f1a, in her capacity as president of Andaluc\u00eda TRADE, and by the president of Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace, Antonio G\u00f3mez Guillam\u00f3n. With this agreement, Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace became a collaborating entity for the agency’s internationalization actions.<\/p>\n
Andalusia is one of the main hubs of Europe and, along with Toulouse and Hamburg, the only one with a final assembly line (FAL) for a large aircraft, the Airbus A400M. This exerts a notable boost to this industry and is greatly reflected in its international activity, which has shown a notable recovery in 2022, after two years mediated by the restrictions on the movement of passengers imposed by the pandemic.<\/p>\n
According to data from Andaluc\u00eda TRADE, the Andalusian aeronautical industry experienced a strong increase in its exports of 39% in 2022 compared to the previous year, up to billing 2,134 million euros, which shows the complete recovery of the sector after the paralysis it experienced due to the pandemic. This is a figure that places Andalusia as the community that contributes the most to the growth in sales of the Spanish industry, with more than half of the increase (15 points over the 29.2% increase in national sales).<\/p>\n
Seville remains the epicenter of Andalusian aeronautics, to which provinces such as C\u00e1diz and M\u00e1laga also contribute, while others are being incorporated with great growth. Seville concentrates 99% of sales with 2,113 million and an increase of 39%; while C\u00e1diz is second, with 8.3 million; followed by Malaga, which had a turnover of 7.5 million, growing by 75%.<\/p>\n
Carolina Espa\u00f1a has taken advantage of her presence at the Paris Air Show-Le Bourget Fair to hold several very important meetings in the Andalusian Government’s commitment to the aeronautical and aerospace sector.<\/p>\n
Thus, after the presentation of ADM Sevilla 2024, the counselor attended a meeting in which the general director of the Spanish Association of Defense, Security, Aeronautics and Space Technologies (TEDAE), C\u00e9sar Ramos, and the president and the general director of the Andaluc\u00eda Aerospace cluster, Antonio G\u00f3mez-Guillam\u00f3n and Juan Rom\u00e1n, respectively, with a view, precisely, to the celebration of ADM Seville next year.<\/p>\n
