We’re delighted that Craxel UK has joined ADS Group, the UK’s leading trade body representing the aerospace, defence, security and space industries.
This marks an important step in our continued growth in the UK and reflects our commitment to supporting the strength, resilience and innovation of these critical sectors. ADS plays a central role in bringing together industry, government and partners to advance the UK’s strategic capabilities, and we’re pleased to now contribute as part of that community.
For Craxel, collaboration is fundamental. By joining ADS, we look forward to working more closely with industry leaders, innovators and programme partners across the UK and allied nations. Together, we can help accelerate the development and deployment of technologies that strengthen security, improve interoperability and support long-term national and allied programmes.
Our focus remains on delivering sovereign, interoperable data platforms through our Black Forest Knowledge Infrastructure, enabling organisations to harness complex data and transform it into actionable insight. As the pace and scale of modern challenges increase, context-aware decision making becomes ever more critical.
Through ADS, we’re excited to engage with partners who share our ambition to advance innovation across the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors and to contribute to the collective effort that underpins the security of the UK, its allies, and NATO.
We look forward to the collaboration ahead.
