Connect the world while reinventing how flight is powered.

A Global Industry, Built for Innovation 

Aerospace and Aeronautics sit at the heart of one of the most international, R&D intensive sectors in the world. The air transport industry as a whole, spanning airlines, airports and the wider aviation ecosystem, supports $4.1 trillion in economic activity, nearly 4% of global GDP, and sustains more than 86 million jobs. Aerospace manufacturing specifically (aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and equipment) represents a market of over $400 billion in 2025, growing 7 to 8% annually through 2035 on the back of record air traffic, fleet modernisation and the rise of commercial space.

This growth spans every major hub.

• France’s aerospace and space industry, aeronautics and space combined, generated €85.6 billion in revenue in 2025, the largest in Europe according to GIFAS.
• Germany’s aerospace industry and the UK’s aerospace, defence, security and space sector together employ over 220,000 people, per BDLI and ADS Group.
• Across the Atlantic, the US aerospace and defence industry generated close to $1 trillion in business activity in 2025, while Canada’s aerospace manufacturing and MRO industry contributed $34.2 billion (CAD) to GDP in 2024.
• In Brazil, one of the world’s leading commercial aircraft manufacturers, rounds out a genuinely global production and innovation footprint.

Wherever they operate, manufacturers and suppliers face the same challenge: decarbonising flight while scaling production fast enough to meet backlogs that represent years of future output. New programmes take a decade or more to mature, and sustained R&D investment is now the baseline cost of staying competitive.

This is exactly where ABGi operates, helping aerospace and aeronautics companies, from OEMs to Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers and specialised subcontractors, secure R&D tax credits and innovation funding wherever their innovation strategy takes them.
