About us

We promote transformative technology in air transport and fund world class research and development through a £3.9bn joint government-industry programme. Over 400 projects are securing jobs, maintaining skills and delivering economic benefits across the UK.

Our strategy

An independent, not-for-profit organisation, the ATI creates the technology strategy for UK aerospace, which builds on the UK’s strengths and responds to the challenges faced by the UK civil aerospace sector. It provides a roadmap of the innovation necessary to keep the UK competitive in the global aerospace market, and complements the broader strategy for the sector created by the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP). Projects funded through the ATI Programme must align with the technology strategy Destination Zero.
