ADS Toulouse Newsletter 20- July 2025
Dear all,
The 55th International Paris Air Show reaffirmed its status as a must-attend global event for our sectors, drawing the industry together in the heart of our beloved capital once again. For ADS Toulouse, the event marked a significant milestone as we proudly welcomed five new members, broadening our network and reinforcing our commitment to representing the UK’s aerospace ecosystem both locally and internationally.
In 2025, strengthening European collaboration remains a core priority for ADS Toulouse. Milestones such as the ASD Convention in London and the upcoming UK-France Defence Summit highlight the growing momentum behind cross-border industrial and strategic cooperation. These events underline the increasing integration of the UK aerospace and defence sectors within wider European industrial landscape.
At a time when the dialogue between the EU and UK on security and defence cooperation continues to evolve, ADS Toulouse plays an active role in fostering connections, convening with industry representatives, and identifying strategic opportunities that enable our members to engage with key stakeholders across Europe.
Looking ahead, we are excited to host our flagship Annual ADS Toulouse Event on 16 October in Toulouse, a unique gathering for industry leaders and decision-makers. This year, the event will take on a new dimension with the introduction of a bilateral component, further strengthening cross-border partnerships across Europe. The 2025 theme will explore the industrial landscape 25 years from now, emerging technologies, and the aerospace sector’s path towards decarbonisation. By placing a spotlight on collaboration, the event will help strengthen industrial ties between the UK and Europe, supporting a shared vision for the future of aerospace, defence, and innovation.
Bonne lecture,
Sincerely,
Marie Margaux Honikman
ADS Toulouse Director
