AEROMART TOULOUSE, FRANCE
December  3-4, 2008
Airbus & ATR site visits December 5

With the currently low U.S. Dollar, the European aerospace industry is looking across the Atlantic for new sourcing opportunities.  But at traditional aerospace trade shows, you may have experienced that it’s next to impossible to connect with the BUYERS from major players such as Airbus or their main systems suppliers.  

That’s why The U.S. Department of Commerce Aerospace Team is pleased to announce its active support and participation in the 7^th edition of AEROMART Toulouse 2008. Designed for and attended by the BUYERS and SPECIFIERS of aerospace prime contractors and manufacturers, Aeromart will take place in Toulouse, France from December 3-5, 2008, including a day of visits to Airbus and ATR production facilities.  The U.S. Commercial Service has negotiated a 25% discount on the price of Aeromart’s “Plus” package – an offer available ONLY to U.S. companies!  

AEROMART Toulouse is the leading global aerospace event based on pre-planned business to business (B2B) meetings.  The most prominent global players use this platform to find partners, subcontractors, and other business opportunities.  The event will consist of the following:

• 300 contractors (procurement, production, R&D, commodities, supply chain, engineering, etc...)
• 450 suppliers and subcontractors
• 10,000+ face to face meetings arranged over two days
• 35 countries represented
