BoostAeroSpace

BoostAeroSpace is a French digital services company for the European aerospace and defence industry. It gives supply chain firms shared online tools so they can work together in a secure and standard way.

The company was created in 2011 by Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Safran and Thales. These founders invest in it each year to bring common services to their supply chains. The stated aim is to raise the competitiveness and resilience of the sector.

BoostAeroSpace links every supply chain actor in European aerospace and defence through a common data space. Its services are federated and use harmonised standards. This makes teamwork between large groups and their suppliers simpler.

The company has three main services. AirSupply is a standard collaborative platform for supply chain actors in aerospace and defence. AirConnect handles automated data exchange between suppliers' ERP systems and their clients' platforms. AirCyber is a joint programme to standardise and raise cyber maturity. A further solution, Aero Excellence, supports supplier performance. In the past the company also ran AirCollab, AirDesign and AirSecure.

Its mission is to provide trusted digital services for secure, standard and efficient collaboration across the industry. Its vision is to become the main digital enabler for the sector. It wants to support industrial excellence, supply chain performance and cybersecurity.

Small and mid-size suppliers are a key focus. The company helps them adopt digital tools safely. Industry groups such as GIFAS, the Aerospace Valley cluster and the SPACE association back its work. Thales has launched a programme to bring most of its suppliers onto the AirSupply and AirCyber tools. A cyber attack on a supplier can stop work for weeks, so the founders stress shared protection across the chain.
