It takes place at the OVAL Lingotto convention centre in Turin, Italy. Supported by the Piemonte Region, the Torino Chamber of Commerce, and leading Italian aerospace institutions, it is the only internationally scoped matchmaking event of its kind in Italy. The format connects OEMs and their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with manufacturers, service providers, and technology companies through pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, conference sessions, and workshops. The next edition is 9-11 November 2027. ## History and Italy's aerospace industrial context A&DM Torino was established by abe/BCI Aerospace to serve Italy's aerospace industrial ecosystem, the largest manufacturing sector in Italy in high-tech integrated systems. The Piemonte-Torino cluster ranks seventh globally and fourth in Europe in aerospace, with a turnover exceeding 14 billion euros and a workforce of 47,274 highly specialised employees. Key industry participants from previous editions include Leonardo, Thales Alenia Space, Avio Aero, Collins Aerospace, Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Aviation, ATR, BAE Systems, MBDA, COMAC, AVIC, and Turkish Aerospace. The event builds on abe/BCI Aerospace's global portfolio of aerospace conventions, including Aeromart Toulouse, A&DM Montreal, Aeromart Nagoya, A&DM Seattle, A&DM Rzeszow, and A&DM Sevilla. ## The 2027 edition: 8th edition and 10th anniversary The 2027 edition of A&DM Torino is the 8th International Business Convention for the aerospace industry, described by the organiser as a "10-year anniversary" milestone edition. It runs 9-11 November 2027 at the OVAL Lingotto. The 2025 edition key focus areas included: technology, innovation and sustainability in supply-chain management; big data and digital transformation; international collaboration and European strategic autonomy; partnerships and innovation to promote defence and security; advanced air mobility; and commercialisation of the space sector and lunar economy. The Lunar Economy Summit, a dedicated co-located sub-event, is associated with A&DM Torino. A parallel academic event, the AIDAA International Congress / CEAS Aerospace Europe Conference, was co-located with the 2025 edition. ## Where A&DM Torino sits in the defence calendar A&DM Torino is the primary international aerospace and defence B2B matchmaking event in Italy and one of the leading events in the BCI Aerospace network for the EMEA region. Its November timing places it in the late-autumn European trade calendar, after the summer airshow season and after other BCI Aerospace autumn events such as AD2S (September) and ADEX (October). For companies targeting Italy's industrial supply chain or the wider Mediterranean aerospace market, A&DM Torino is the natural gateway. ## Who attends A&DM Torino Participants include aerospace and defence OEMs (primes), their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, manufacturers of components and sub-systems, service providers (MRO, engineering, testing), technology companies, startups, and research institutions. The 2025 edition attracted 900 companies, more than 3,000 participants, 300+ OEM buyers, 35+ countries, 140+ speakers, and 30 startups. Confirmed past participants include major Italian primes (Leonardo, Avio Aero, Thales Alenia Space), international OEMs (Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Collins Aerospace, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Mitsubishi), and a wide array of European and global Tier 2 suppliers. ## What the A&DM Torino format includes The convention is built around three programme pillars: (1) pre-scheduled one-to-one B2B meetings, arranged through the BCI Aerospace digital matchmaking platform prior to the event -- the primary value driver; (2) conference sessions with 140+ speakers covering aerospace innovation, defence and security partnerships, digital transformation, space economy, and sustainability; (3) workshops, which allow a selected number of suppliers to present products and technologies to qualified audiences of buyers. A Startup pavilion and a dedicated Lunar Economy Summit satellite event add further dimensions. A mobile app (available on iOS and Android) supports the meeting programme and agenda navigation on site. ## What A&DM Torino covers Key themes: sustainability and green aviation; space ecosystem and lunar economy; defence and cybersecurity; advanced and urban air mobility (AAM/UAM); industry 5.0 and AI/data; digital transformation and big data; European strategic autonomy; supply-chain innovation. ## The 2025 edition in numbers *(organiser-declared)* | | | |---|---| | Companies | 900 | | Participants | 3,000+ | | B2B meetings | 12,000+ | | OEM buyers | 300+ | | Countries | 35+ | | Speakers | 140+ | | Startups | 30 | --- ## FAQ - Identity and audience ### Is A&DM Torino focused on defence or civil aerospace? Both. A&DM Torino covers the full aerospace sector, including civil aviation, defence, and space. Defence and security are prominent themes and dedicated conference tracks are devoted to defence procurement, cybersecurity, and European strategic autonomy, but the event is not exclusively a defence show. ### What is the Lunar Economy Summit? The Lunar Economy Summit is a satellite sub-event associated with A&DM Torino, focused on the commercialisation of the space sector and the emerging lunar economy. It runs in connection with the main convention and has its own dedicated website (lunareconomysummit.com). ### How does the B2B meeting platform work? Participants register via the BCI Aerospace portal, complete a detailed profile of their company's capabilities and requirements, browse the participant list, and submit meeting requests. The platform matches requests and allocates time slots in the two-to-three day agenda. Meeting schedules are confirmed and accessible via the mobile app and portal before the event opens. --- ## The venue: OVAL Lingotto, Torino OVAL Lingotto is a multi-purpose exhibition and event venue located at Via Giacomo Matté Trucco 70, 10126 Torino, Italy.

How to prepare - **Build your matchmaking profile before meetings open.** The BCI Aerospace platform drives the entire event. An incomplete or vague profile will result in fewer relevant meeting requests. List specific capabilities, product categories, certifications, and target customers; include your top 10 target companies in your profile notes to focus inbound requests. - **Prioritise OEM buyer sessions in your meeting requests.** With 300+ OEM buyers confirmed, competition for their meeting slots is high. Submit requests as soon as the platform opens, targeting the specific primes and Tier 1 companies relevant to your capabilities. Early movers secure the best slots. - **Attend the defence and cybersecurity conference track.** With European strategic autonomy and defence procurement acceleration as central themes, the conference sessions are particularly valuable for companies entering or expanding in the defence segment. Speaker rosters include senior figures from Leonardo, the Piemonte aerospace district, and Italian defence institutions. - **Explore the Piemonte aerospace ecosystem before arrival.** Review the Piemonte Aerospace District (DAP International) member list and the Torino Chamber of Commerce aerospace directory. Knowing the local supply chain before you arrive sharpens your meeting strategy considerably. - **Use the Lingotto Complex as your base.** The OVAL is part of a large complex including hotels, restaurants, and the Pinacoteca Agnelli. Staying at a Lingotto-adjacent hotel eliminates commute time between meetings, giving you more time between sessions and reducing fatigue across a dense three-day programme. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://torino.bciaerospace.com/ | | LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/adm-torino/ | | X | https://twitter.com/ADM_Torino | | Register | https://torino.bciaerospace.com/registration/ | | Programme | https://torino.bciaerospace.com/agenda/ | | Lunar Economy Summit | https://lunareconomysummit.com/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-06-10 **Next review:** 2026-12-10 **Notes:** Key figures (900 companies, 3,000+ participants, 12,000+ B2B meetings, 300+ OEM buyers, 35+ countries, 140+ speakers, 30 startups) are organiser-declared, sourced from torino.bciaerospace.com and reflect the 2025 edition or generic platform figures. 2027 edition confirmed as 9-11 November 2027, OVAL Lingotto, Torino; described as 8th edition and 10th anniversary.
