Our impact
Discover the ATI’s impact across the UK including how ATI Programme investment and sector support is advancing next-generation aerospace technologies
Introduction From our CEO
In 2025 we passed the halfway point of a decade critical for the aerospace sector. Next-generation platforms are on the horizon, rate challenges persist and the pressure is on to develop technologies to deliver our economic and decarbonisation goals. Our mission has never been more important: to transform aerospace through technology and innovation. This is critical to our sector achieving Net Zero 2050.
We are committed to sharing information about how the ATI is working towards these objectives. Our annual impact report shows where ATI Programme funding has been invested, how it supports the wider aerospace ecosystem and the technology development that has been achieved right here in the UK.

measuring our impact race to zero
As we strive towards achieving net-zero for the future of flight, it is also imperative to internally decarbonise our organisation, fostering shared values for our stakeholders and ensuring the preservation of our planet. That is why we joined the UNFCCC Race to Zero in March 2023. Our target is at least 50% reduction in carbon intensity from our baseline across all our activities by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050.
