Uniting global defence leaders to enhance dialogue and build alliances

Newton are the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT)’s long-standing strategic delivery partner. Through the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) – the world’s largest military airshow – RAFCT annually inspires over 500,000 young people with STEM education programs and experiences. This year, RIAT is taking a new shape: instead of the traditional public airshow, it’s being reconfigured into a focused global defence engagement programme. This revitalised format is designed to strengthen dialogue, deepen relationships and enable targeted collaboration across the global defence community, bringing together international delegations, senior military leaders and industry partners at a critical moment for collective security.

RIAT’s ambition has always been to grow its role as a central strategic platform showcasing UK Defence on the international stage, building credibility, influence and long-term impact with partners around the world. Achieving this vision requires close collaboration between RAFCT, government and industry – and it’s exactly where we contribute. As RAFCT’s strategic delivery partner, we work side-by-side with the charity to turn their ambitions into reality, ensuring this next chapter of RIAT’s evolution not only convenes the right people and ideas, but also translates strategic intent into lasting outcomes for UK and allied defence capability.
