Florida Pavillion at the 2025 Dubai Airshow Generates More Than $71 Million in Total Sales for Participating Businesses

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -Today, SelectFlorida announced that Florida companies generated more than $71 million in total sales following their participation at the 2025 Dubai Airshow-the largest airshow in the Middle East and third largest worldwide-held in November 2025. By hosting the Florida Pavillion at the 2025 Dubai Airshow, SelectFlorida put Florida businesses on the world stage-including eight Florida companies participating in the event, with half attending the Dubai Airshow for the first time.

"There is strong interest in U.S.-based training, manufacturing and technology partnerships, and as such, our coordinated presence at this year's show afforded Florida companies impactful business matchmaking support and on-site assistance," said SelectFlorida President Dr. Matt Swanson. "Florida is at the forefront of our nation's aerospace market with prime economic positioning to handle the increased international demand for aviation and MRO services."

While at the show, Boca Raton-based Aerospace Technologies Group (ATG) announced an agreement to supply window shades for Emirates' Boeing 777-300 fleet cabin upgrade program-bolstering the companies' existing partnership and securing a significant commercial win for ATG. In addition, ATG also announced they would be expanding their Dubai facility to meet the needs of this growing partnership.

Post-event reporting shows that participants were highly satisfied with the quality of the event, the volume of international buyers and the support received from the SelectFlorida team throughout the show. Florida's continued engagement at the Dubai Airshow ensures high-quality exposure in a region experiencing significant growth in aerospace, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), defense procurement and advanced technologies.

Florida companies who attended the event included Aerospace Technologies Group, Inc., Cleva Technologies / Vector Climate, Hi-Tech Import Export Corporation, Paradigm Parachute and Defense Inc., Stone Aviation International, TurboPower LLC, US Aviation Training Solutions, Inc. and ViewPoint Systems, LLC.

Testimonials from participating companies:
"Exhibiting at the Dubai Air Show gives Viewpoint Access to our customer base (both new and existing) that we do not have an opportunity to interface/connect with on a regular or frequent basis. Our presence at the event reinforces our commitment to supporting our customers in the regions and allows us the opportunity to familiarize them with our products and capabilities. As a result of attending the show, we have further commended trust with some key partners in the region and will be moving forward as a supplier on key programs with RJAF, UAE AF, etc. we will undoubtedly continue our growth trajectory and hire additional employees to support that growth. The Select Florida team and events have been instrumental in helping viewpoint close new business." - ViewPoint Systems, LLC

"Our participation at the Dubai Airshow was highly productive, with Select Florida playing a critical role in making all bookings and logistical arrangements seamless, allowing our team to focus entirely on customer engagement. During the show, we met with several existing customers, including defense organizations from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, and engaged with key prospective customers in Israel, Saudi Arabia and other MENA countries. These meetings are expected to directly support future Foreign Military Sales (FMS) opportunities and drive long-term growth for a small Florida-based business." - TurboPower, LLC

"We were thrilled to participate in the Dubai Air Show with Select Florida. The Trade Grant and the assistance and support from Mario made this possible for Vector to introduce our units to the middle east. The show was very productive and proved to be a great launching ground for business. The machines were received very well and we're sure we made an impression on the industry." - Cleva Technologies
