The UK aerospace and defense contingent has returned in force at this year’s Paris Air Show, with 61 member companies of the industry association ADS jointly exhibiting within the national pavilion in Hall 2b. For the first time, the UK pavilion is co-located with a "start-up zone" run by the Aerospace Technology Institute and Boeing’s Aerospace Xelerated program.

The new zone includes about 20 small- and medium-sized enterprises that might not otherwise have been able to exhibit on the global stage. Part of the 2023 show’s new "Start Me Up" program, it helps start-ups get exposure throughout the week. Exhibiting UK companies include Plyable, Aiber, AireXpert, Datch, Productive Machines, SensaWeb, Signol, Airline Pilot Club, Amygda, Flare Bright, LexX Technologies, Pegasus, ToffeeAM, Aerosens, Aiir Innovations, Conductor Software, Dessia Technologies, Nabla Mobility, Quasir, and Zetamtion.
