Aerospace Technology Institute Programme

The Aerospace Technology Institute programme is a long-running UK aerospace R&D fund jointly delivered by DBT, Innovate UK, and the ATI. It funds substantial, multi-year, industry-led collaborative R&D projects aligned with the ATI's published technology strategy — typically zero-carbon flight, advanced systems, structures, and propulsion. Project costs commonly run from low millions to tens of millions; intervention rates follow standard subsidy control rules. Not appropriate for early-stage start-ups working in isolation or projects with no clear path to a UK aerospace supply chain.
