Embraer and United Kingdom’s Department for Business and Trade Strengthen Strategic Cooperation in Innovation and Aerospace Development
julho 22, 2026
Farnborough, United Kingdom, July 22, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ/ B3: EMBJ3) and the UK Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Farnborough International Airshow.
Building on decades of cooperation between Embraer and the United Kingdom, the initiative aims to deepen collaboration in strategic areas including research and development, innovation, aviation capabilities and supply chain development, further strengthening ties between Embraer and the UK aerospace ecosystem.
Embraer has maintained a strong presence in the UK for more than 45 years, supplying commercial and defense aircraft, developing research and development projects, and partnering with British suppliers whose technologies contribute to the competitiveness of its products and services worldwide.
Complementing the successful collaboration already established with UK Export Finance (UKEF) which contributed to an increase in the number of Embraer’s UK suppliers and almost doubled their volume of business with UK suppliers, the MoU with BIST creates a framework for regular engagement between Embraer and UK stakeholders. It will help identify new opportunities, including additional partnerships in innovation, engineering and supply chain, as well as other projects that will strengthen economic value for both parties.
“The United Kingdom is a strategic partner for Embraer, and we see significant opportunities to deepen our collaboration in innovation, technology and industrial development,” said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer. “We share a common vision of aviation as a driver of economic growth, technological advancement and connectivity. Building on the work we’ve been developing with the UKEF, this MoU marks an important step in further expanding our partnership and supporting sustainable growth across the global aerospace sector.”
Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: “The UK needs better growth in every postcode and for business and government to work in partnership to raise living standards.
“This agreement is a strong vote of confidence in the UK's world-leading aerospace sector and builds on our longstanding partnership with Embraer. By strengthening collaboration on innovation, engineering and supply chains, we can create new opportunities, support high-skilled jobs and drive growth in communities across the UK.”
Gary Elliott, CEO of the Aerospace Technology Institute, said: “The Aerospace Technology Institute welcomes this agreement with Embraer and looks forward to collaborating on shared priorities that drive innovation, strengthen supply chains and enhance aerospace competitiveness.”
