SDI and aerospace business development
Scottish Development International (SDI) aims to help companies make the most of all the opportunities for investment in Scotland by promoting aerospace business development. We can help you prosper in the booming aerospace industry, whilst benefiting the wider Scottish economy at the same time.
Our role is twofold – to encourage inward investment and to help Scottish companies develop international business opportunities in the aerospace industry.
Aerospace business development in Scotland
SDI can help your company forge partnership agreements between UK and foreign aerospace companies. This will open up new channels to markets, investments, technologies and products.
Another way in which SDI promotes aerospace business development is by enabling licensing deals between aerospace companies and universities to promote research, design and development of projects with high knowledge content.
