Farnborough International Airshow 2024

July 22 – 26, 2024
Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre for the world’s best 2024 airshow

Collaboration, meet Acceleration.
Welcome to where innovation takes off.

Capgemini is excited to participate in Farnborough International Airshow, being held this July. FIA 2024 hosts leaders from across the aerospace and defence ecosystem who showcase leading technologies, latest innovations, and the impact of partnership.

We recognise that today’s A&D organisations face unprecedented demands to be cheaper, faster and more sustainable to remain competitive. To be successful in this complex ecosystem, A&D organisations must accelerate the ways in which they collaborate and innovate.

Visit the Capgemini booth at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre to have a conversation on the same.

Our presence at the Farnborough Airshow 2024 includes a booth and a chalet overlooking the airfield where we plan to bring new perspectives on topics such as:

  • Connected aerospace and defence
  • Digital continuity in aerospace and defence
  • Production acceleration and supply chain transformation
  • Sustainability through the lens of circular economy and net zero aviation

We see a future where executives can be visionaries, tapping into today’s innovations and technologies to utilise the convergence of products, software, data, and services. At Capgemini, we call this Intelligent Industry the next phase of business transformation, cutting across all facets of customer interaction, business operations, R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chains.

Meet with us in Booth #1211 (Hall 1, Pioneers of change zone) or Chalet C130.
