CCAT lead a team of five Connecticut companies to the Farnborough Air Show in July, 2006 -- part of a unique marketing opportunity to showcase Connecticut's world class aerospace suppliers at an international event. The air show was held from July 14-20, 2006.
This was the first Air Show Exhibit Program (ASEP) organized by CCAT. Each of the 5 companies exhibited in a 48 square meter, State of Connecticut booth. The booth included a small meeting area and graphic displays showing products and services made in Connecticut, and static displays from Pratt & Whitney and Kaman.
The goal of the ASEP program is to provide international exposure and assistance in locating new customers for Connecticut aerospace companies. In return, CCAT and the State hopes these new customers will lead to new business and job growth, thus contributing to the health of the regions economy. The Farnborough Air Show, one of the industry's largest air shows, represents an ideal venue to meet this goal.
Routinely these international air shows draw more than 500,000 attendees and 1,500 exhibitors - including all major OEMs - over a seven day span.
The theme for the State of Connecticut booth was: Connect to Connecticut, The Global Aerospace Leader. Empowering Innovation, Creating Success. The Theme was carried throughout the exhibit on all graphics and displays.
