As a major European defence manufacturer, the Company also has significant economic impact across Europe. According to the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe, the industry supports over 921,000 jobs across the continent, all contributing to Europe’s economic prosperity with €260 billion in annual revenue in 2022. While the Company contributes to the global economy as a whole, it also contributes to the economic development of the communities where it operates. Full aerospace ecosystems – bringing together academia, research centres and corporations, all with high value-added jobs – often develop around the Company’s sites such as those in Toulouse, Hamburg or Bristol.

This development is accelerated thanks to the Company’s innovation ecosystem such as Airbus Scale: an innovation unit that combines corporate innovation, start-up engagement and company-building activities. Airbus Scale identifies and promotes internal corporate innovation opportunities that can be developed into solutions for the external world, bringing them to market and attracting external investments that could result in spin-offs. This generates value not only for the Company but also for the local communities where these new companies will set up and operate.
