In anticipation of the Farnborough International Airshow 2024 (FIA24), we had the opportunity to speak with Daniela Fayer, a prominent figure in the defense industry.

Daniela's extensive career includes over 20 years of leadership experience in business development, media, and insights industries. Her deep understanding of advanced technologies, market trends, and strategic industry developments makes her perspective invaluable for navigating the complexities of the defense and aerospace market. 

Here’s what she had to say about this year's event.

Q: What are you looking forward to at Farnborough 2024?

I'm really looking forward to Audrey Decker's coverage for Defense One. Her reports are always insightful and hit the nail on the head with current industry trends. Plus, the live demos at Forecast International's booth are a must-see. Their data capabilities are truly cutting-edge and provide a glimpse into the future of aerospace technology.

Q: What did you learn at past Farnborough events?

Every Farnborough Airshow is a learning experience! I’m always amazed at our European allies' unique perspectives and priorities. The power and dynamism of the global commercial aviation industry are on full display. The flying and static displays are particularly thrilling. In 2022, we saw over 90 aircraft, with many making their debut. It's like getting a behind-the-scenes look into the future of aviation.

Q: Can you give us any sneak peeks about your attendance at Farnborough 2024?

I can't wait to dive into the Space Zone at FIA2024, especially with the recent launch of the GovExec Space Project. There's so much buzz about the global trends and challenges in space exploration. Even though we're not presenting this year, our primary focus will be engaging with attendees and showcasing our new capabilities. It's going to be an incredible opportunity to connect, share, and learn. If you're attending, make sure to drop by and say hello!
