💡 Long-term certainty for aerospace R&D in the UK In last month’s Budget the chancellor named aerospace as one of the sectors with the biggest growth potential while confirming the government’s commitment to £975m of funding for the ATI Programme from 2026 to 2030. Today, the announcement was marked with the Prime Minister visiting Wales, where we also held this year’s ATI Conference. With 5% of the UK population but around 10% of the UK’s aerospace industry, Wales is home to one of the largest aerospace clusters in the world, employing over 20,000 people. Discover more about the announcement which will support highly skilled jobs across the nations and regions of the UK while powering our journey to Destination Zero: https://lnkd.in/gywUBQxF Find out more about the ATI Programme: https://lnkd.in/eQM7z2XF #DestinationZero
