ReSiSTant project developed, upscaled and industrially demonstrated reliable manufacturing processes to obtain nanostructured riblet surfaces to be applied in Aircraft Turbofan Engines and industrial Compressors to reduce drag and the related fuel consumption and emissions. “ReSiSTant” aimed on the realization of simple, safe, low cost in terms of CAPEX and OPEX, replicable deposition and manufacturing process able to realize large scaled areas with highly resistant nano- and micro-structured surfaces to be applied on newly built and existing turbomachinery blades in order to increase their performances and reduce their wear. ReSiSTant innovation (nanocoatings and their manufacturing process) is demonstrated in two different industrial lines under the guidance of GE Aviation, MAN Energy Solutions and Lufthansa Technik.

“Doing Business with Boeing”: Provide a thorough overview on what Boeing businesses are, what the Boeing market outlook is, how organized the Boeing Supply Chain is, what is expected from being a supplier to Boeing, how it is working for French suppliers.

IAI’s logic and methodology of leveraging innovation and R&D to fostering technologies by collaboration. The combined and collaborative efforts in the defense and commercial sectors, by technology companies and start-ups, is key to the development of future break-throughs.

AIRBUS and its whole supply chain have been faced with significant challenges over the past few years, from major restructuring to a worldwide pandemic whilst still maintaining an exceptional backlog to be delivered across the next 10 years. The objective is to deliver all these aircraft, On time, On cost and On quality. This represents an industrial, commercial and technical challenge for the global supply chain and requires Airbus to foster its detail parts business around key strategic suppliers. Beyond the industrial excellence which is expected from all our suppliers, some differentiating factors are also critical when selecting Airbus “D2P” strategic partners: globalization, innovation capacity, value creation, sustainable operational and environmental performance and continuous improvement. The presentation aims at presenting the AIRBUS Detail Parts development over the past few years, reviewing its sourcing strategy and its implementation using the D2P processes and what the future strategy looks like for detail parts.

Considered among the most important in Europe, the Aerospace industry in Piemonte boasts more than 20.000 employees, 7 billion€ turnover, 350 SME’s, 6 prime companies, 1 Aerospace District, 4 Universities and several Private and Public R&D centers, S&T Parks, Innovation hubs and incubators. Strategically positioned at the heart of the European development system, right at the crossroads of the main routes between the North-South, East-West, the Piemonte aerospace supply chain is a complete one and offers leading edge technological and business solutions to international key players providing capable suppliers ready to deliver high-quality parts on cost and on time. The Regional Authority is acting through Centro Estero per l'Internazionalizzazione (Piemonte Agency) to develop new strategies beneficial to the SME's and new business models such as the "Supply Chain Integrated Projects" with specifically allocated budgets, methodologies and best practises. In this framework, every two-year Torino becomes meeting point for the international Aerospace community thanks to the organization of the only business convention in Italy for the aerospace industry “Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino”, capable to gather more than 1.300 participants, 625 companies, 30 countries and during which more than 8.000 b2b meetings take place. From the 28th to the 30th of November 2023 Torino will host the 9th edition of Aerospace and Defense Meetings.
