The aerospace industry is an important sector and one of major contributors to the aerospace supply chain within the Asia Pacific region. The Malaysian Government is implementing various initiatives, including high-tech project activities related to Industrial Revolution 4.0 in an effort to enhance the supply chain of the Malaysian aerospace sector digitally while maintaining long-term competitiveness. Singapore Airshow is one of the largest aerospace trade shows in the world held every 2 years and attended by aerospace leaders such as Airbus, Boeing, Dassault Aviation, Israel Aerospace Industries, Jet Aviation, L3Harris Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, ST Engineering and Thales. This exhibition attracted a total of 30,000 trade visitors from 110 countries. Singapore Airshow is a strategic platform for Malaysian companies to showcase their potential and capabilities in the aerospace manufacturing sector and its related services. This is the first time MATRADE coordinated participation of Malaysian aerospace companies in the Singapore Airshow held from 11 - 16 February 2020 at the Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore. Malaysia's participation provided exposure to local players on new technologies and partnership opportunities with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers from around the world. This is part of MATRADE's ongoing efforts to increase exports of high impact products and services, and create opportunities for local aerospace companies to be part of the global supply chain. A total of 12 companies were expected to participate in the Malaysia Pavilion during this exhibition. However, due to the spread of COVID-19 in Singapore, most companies withdrew at the last minute leaving only six Malaysian companies to participate, namely Sapura Aerospace Technologies Sdn Bhd, T7 Kilgour Sdn Bhd, Jaga Systems Sdn Bhd, Global SAR Resources Sdn Bhd, Global Turbine Asia Sdn Bhd and Invest Selangor Berhad. A total of 305 business matching sessions were successfully organised with representatives of leading aerospace companies headquartered in the Asian region.
