Criteria
This award celebrates emerging technology being developed in the UK that will support the journey to Net Zero 2050. The technology should be below TRL4, with an expectation that TRL6 will be reached before the end of 2026. Nominations are welcomed from companies of all sizes.
Nominations will require the following information:
Nominated technologies do not need to have received funding through the ATI Programme to be eligible.
Criteria
This award celebrates zero-carbon emissions technology being developed in the UK for future commercial aircraft types. The technology should be at TRL6 or below. The technology can be relevant to any zero-carbon fuelled aircraft and should represent a step change in UK capability in this area. Nominations are welcomed from companies of all sizes.
Nominations will require the following information:
Nominated technologies do not need to have received funding through the ATI Programme to be eligible
Criteria
This award celebrates the impact of small research projects. The nominees will be able to demonstrate that their project, valued at £1m or less, has made a difference to UK aerospace – either by developing a key technology, showing agility in manufacturing or supply chain processes, or through some other innovation that helps the sector towards net zero.
Nominations will require the following information:
The project does not need to have received ATI (or NATEP) funding to be nominated.
Criteria
This award celebrates UK-based startups that have been active in the aerospace sector since 2020. Their focus should be on supporting the journey to net zero for commercial flight.
Nominations will require the following information:
Nominated startups do not need to have engaged with the ATI Hub to be eligible.
Criteria
This award celebrates the teams who are making the journey to net zero together. They could be working on a project, collaborating across companies, shaping decision making or driving change. They are high-performing, stretching themselves and those with whom they engage, and are delivery focused. They have strong relationships and navigate the ecosystem well. Nominations are welcomed for teams of all sizes who display exemplary collaboration and partnership behaviours.
Nominations will require the following information:
The team does not need to have received ATI funding to be nominated.
Criteria
This award celebrates the successes of the ATI Programme. We are looking for projects that have challenged conventional wisdom, taken risks and learnt valuable lessons to support the journey to net zero. The projects will be world-leading and contributing to the future of the UK aerospace industry. Projects must have finished or reached a significant milestone in the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
Nominations will require the following information:
Nominations for this category must have received funding from the ATI Programme.
Join us on 8th & 9th October 2024 for our flagship event at the ICC Wales, Newport.
Moving to one of the UK’s newest conference venues helps us to refresh our delegate offer, with room for additional sessions and an enhanced exhibition area.
ATI Conference 2024 will again bring over 300 experts together from across aerospace and beyond to shape the future of flight on our journey to Destination Zero.
Visit our conference page to find out more about the agenda, how to purchase tickets and our sponsorship and exhibition opportunities.
TISICS has developed the world’s largest metal composite component for civil aircraft. Its pioneering technology addresses key gaps in advanced metal composite maturity and demonstrates a powerful solution for decarbonising aviation – achieving double the specific stiffness of 300M steel at 50% mass. When applied to the landing gear across wide-body aircraft fleets, this could reduce CO2 emissions by 9 million tonnes per year.
Impression Technologies is leading the concept of a “second life for aircraft seats”, with sustainability built into the design process. Its project has shown that designing from the outset with circularity in mind can bring truly innovative products to market without compromise on what the aviation seat industry demands; weight, cost, style, comfort and responsible solutions.
The first successful tests of the Rolls-Royce UltraFan engine was a significant moment. It is an innovation that delivers a step change in what is possible – an engine that is 25% more fuel efficient than the first generation of Trent engines. UltraFan's success is absolutely critical for the future of the aircraft engine industry in the UK and gives the UK a significant advantage in the global market.
The consortium led by Highlands & Islands Airport reflects expert representation across technology, regulation and policy, plus a range of affiliated stakeholders including local authorities and regional development agencies.
There was a clear need to establish the partnership, which will improve regional connectivity to support remote and rural communities.
WAAM3D is a growth stage startup with the potential to transform the adoption of additive manufacturing in aerospace.
Their innovation in large-scale metal additive manufacturing is an end-to-end solution covering computer aided manufacturing, machine and process control, and post-build data analytics.
Ultima Forma is developing technology that will be essential for the future adoption of hydrogen as an aircraft fuel. Their electroforming processes can manufacture continuous metal structures without joins, allowing the containment of hydrogen in gaseous and liquid forms. It is a process with a low-carbon footprint enabling engineering of innovative lightweight hydrogen storage and distribution solutions.
