MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield is leading a team of economic development specialists from across Alabama at next week’s 2022 Farnborough International Airshow as part of a strategic push to facilitate growth in the state’s economically important aerospace and defense sector.
Beginning Monday, the trade show is the industry’s premier 2022 business event, attracting high-level corporate decision-makers and industry leaders from around the globe to an exhibition venue at Farnborough Airport, located near London.
Secretary Canfield said the Farnborough Airshow represents a unique opportunity for Alabama’s economic development team to forge new relationships with industry leaders and strengthen existing connections through focused meetings in a single location.
“The aerospace industry represents one of the Alabama team’s primary targets for growth opportunities, and the sky is our limit as far as possibilities go within this sector,” he said.
