ubloquity will attend the 2026 Aerospace & Defence Supplier Summit, one of the world’s most important gatherings of aerospace OEMs, tier suppliers and global supply chain leaders.

Held annually in Seattle, the summit connects hundreds of aerospace companies through strategic meetings focused on strengthening the global aviation supply chain.

For ubloquity, the event provides an opportunity to engage directly with senior aerospace supply chain officials on one of the sector’s most pressing priorities; building trust, through digitally connecting supply chains.

Sector Challenges

Modern aircraft programmes rely on complex international supply networks involving thousands of suppliers, logistics providers and regulatory authorities.

This complexity creates significant operational challenges:

  • Limited visibility of asset provenance

  • Fragmented documentation across jurisdictions

  • Rising compliance requirements

  • Increased supply chain risk

  • Higher operational costs driven by inefficiencies

The aerospace sector needs to move rapidly towards a digitised supply chain infrastructure to address these issues.

How ubloquity Supports the Sector

ubloquity provides a secure digital platform that enables organisations to identify, authenticate, track, and manage assets across the entire supply chain.

The platform focuses on three key capabilities:

Digital Product Passports

Secure digital identities for aerospace components, enabling:

  • Verified provenance

  • Lifecycle traceability

  • Certification and compliance validation

  • Real-time access to engineering data

Frictionless Trade

Digitally connecting organisations, authorised actors and physical assets to support:

  • Automated compliance

  • Trusted cross-border movement

  • Secure digital documentation

  • Real-time supply chain visibility

Cost and Risk Reduction

By digitising asset identity and supply chain documentation, organisations can deliver:

  • Reduced asset loss and misidentification

  • Faster inspection and verification

  • Lower compliance costs

  • Improved operational readiness

For high-value aerospace assets, improved traceability can significantly reduce financial exposure while strengthening supply chain resilience.

Building the Future Aerospace Supply Chain

As the aerospace sector accelerates towards greater transparency, sustainability and digital integration, Digital Product Passports and trusted asset identity systems will become foundational infrastructure.

Events such as the Aerospace & Defence Supplier Summit provide an essential platform for collaboration between innovators, suppliers and OEMs working to shape the next generation of aerospace supply chains.

ubloquity is proud to be part of that conversation.
