The 7th edition of Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino, the only international business convention for the aerospace and defense industry in Italy held in Torino on 26th and 27th November 2019, registered amazing figures, confirming its undisputed role on the international scenario: 60% increase in number of buyers compared to those in the 2017 edition, more than 900 participants (buyers and suppliers), 35 countries involved, 110 companies, including large multinational groups, SMEs, start-ups and centers of research, and more than 7,500 pre-organized B2B meetings.

Piemonte alone, region hosting the event, participated with 89 companies, in particular SMEs, as well as 4, between universities and training institutions, and 2 Incubators. Piemonte confirmed in this edition its attractiveness in terms of business and investment, providing a wide range of opportunities.
The event was indeed a showcase for many local SMEs operating in

can expand and retract according to need without taking up space, to the small Cubesats, mini satellites that can supply the same service of the older brothers but occupying much less space, to Pininfarina’s "spatial" pen which can be used in absence of gravity, up to Guido Gobino’s chocolate ready to be carried on a mission by the astronauts in full compliance with the rules set by ESA. And yet the technology of Argotec’s small satellites that will defend the Earth from possible risks of asteroids; the material designed by Sabelt that can more easily exhaust fire in the event of fire, in Space as on Earth; the innovative software by AIKO, the first European company to have demonstrated the use of deep learning technology in orbit; de-icing systems made in additive manufacturing, a technology in which Piemonte is a world leader, and vision systems to help helicopter pilots and aircraft engaged in fire-fighting operations. Up to the Stratofly project, of which the Politecnico di Torino is one of the referents: it is an innovative human air transport, a middle ground between the airplane and the spaceship to decongest the skies and reduce the journey between Rome and Tokyo to half an hour. Icarus, on the other hand, is the team of the Politecnico that together with Photonext has studied a new technology to real time control the state of health of aircraft components through optical fiber, an application that can also be used for large buildings, such as bridges , in order to monitor landslide risk lands. And yet Tessitura Ballesio, a textile company that has included sensors in the fabrics: no more wiring, then, but technologies that are much lighter and can be modeled from Space and that can find applications in many other areas, such as the medical one, thanks to small objects able to measure certain parameters for hospitalized patients by giving an ongoing report on their health even remotely.
