After November’s Drone Industry Networking event with the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) the Civic Drone Center is pleased to announce that the next networking evening will be coupled with a conference showcasing the NATEP funded UAV projects. The joint event is to be held at the University of Central Lancashire on the Thursday 23rd February 2017.The National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) is a £40m technology development programme derived from a bid by the Aerospace Growth Partnership to the Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative.

The fund is aimed at small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the aerospace supply chain to help them develop their own innovative technologies to enhance their capabilities and increase their ability to win new business with higher tier companies anywhere in the world.
