Newton and RIAT
Newton is a cross-enterprise partner to defence and aerospace. We form deep strategic partnerships to tackle the most complex defence challenges and deliver measurable impact to critical national endeavours.
We are proud to be Strategic Delivery Partners to defence, supporting RIAT, the most iconic military air show in the world, by delivering positive operational impact for RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises (RAFCTE), who organise and run it. We have been working with RAFCTE since 2022, implementing several digital innovation programmes which have delivered a significant increase to the teams’ capability.
Our support improves the event experience for senior leaders, international delegations and major UK defence industry primes, enabling better connections, conversations and outcomes – building a safer world.
