GO-Biz will support 12 California small businesses to exhibit in the California Pavilion at Farnborough International Airshow, taking place July 22th - 26th.

This is a savings of over $10,000 when compared to exhibiting individually in the smallest, turnkey booth.
Businesses in the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries repeatably identify Farnborough International Airshow as one of the world’s premier airshows.
