The European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP) looks back on an inspiring and highly productive General Assembly 2025, held in Zaragoza, Spain, and generously hosted by AERA – Clúster de Aeronáutica, Aeroespacial y Defensa de Aragón.
The EACP currently consists of 45 clusters from 18 European countries. No new member applications have been received since the last General Assembly.
Over the course of one and a half days, representatives from across the European aerospace cluster community gathered to exchange ideas, deepen cooperation, and drive forward the development of the network. As one of the rare opportunities for aerospace clusters to meet in person, the General Assembly once again proved to be a cornerstone for strengthening innovation within the European aeronautics ecosystem.
New developments in 2025
Several important developments have shaped the network in 2025. These included the launch of the new WG Synergies, the PNAA Conference in Seattle, and a good-practice exchange with global clusters. Several EACP clusters also took part in a panel at Aerodays 2025 in Warsaw, and organized the GACP Summit at the Paris Airshow. The EACP also enhanced its strategic outreach through partnerships with the Future Aero Festival and Aerospace Tech Week.
The Zaragoza General Assembly reaffirmed the importance of connection, exchange, and collaboration across Europe’s aerospace clusters. With new processes underway and critical reflections on the EACP vision ahead, we look forward to further strengthening our partnership and working toward an even more competitive European aerospace industry.
We would like to extend our thanks to all participants and especially to our host AERA for an unforgettable and impactful General Assembly 2025. We look forward to seeing all members again in the Czech Republic in 2026.
