6. www.aerospace4growth.org.uk 6 www.natep.org.uk www.fac.org.uk Objectives of NATEP ○ Deliver 100 technology capabilities in the UK aerospace supply chain ○ Develop 250 UK aerospace supply chain companies technology and business capabilities and capacities ○ Create/sustain 1200 high value jobs in the UK aerospace supply chain ○ Align aerospace OEMs, mid-caps, SMEs and HEIs/Catapults within ‘Lifting Off’ Strategy and its Implementation ○ Deploy developed technologies in global aerospace platforms by 2020/25 o Using a proven model o (Midlands Aerospace Alliance Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (ATEP) (2006-12) -- 11 successful projects funded)

7. www.aerospace4growth.org.uk www.natep.org.uk www.fac.org.uk 7 Achieving the NATEP Objectives Supply chain collaborative technology projects £50,000 to £150,000 grant funding with duration up to 18 months Projects will be: ○ Comprised of a supply chain technology partnership of at least 2 entities ○ Industrially led and involving the UK aerospace supply chain ○ Pulling through new technology or process for use in current or future product ○ Showing clear benefit technically and have a clear path to commercial exploitation through system house or prime

8. www.aerospace4growth.org.uk www.natep.org.uk www.fac.org.uk 8 Achieving the NATEP Objectives (Cont.) Projects will be: ○ Creating or safeguarding jobs ○ Developed in line with national technology roadmaps and strategy ○ Have wider exploitation possibilities to enhance the advanced manufacturing sector Fundamental research is probably not suitable, but a wide range of technology readiness levels will be considered if a clear outcome is defined. Any arising IP will be owned by the collaborating partnership. Direct financial support will usually up to 50% of spend. In-kind matching is expected. Grant is paid 3 months in arrears.
