For over a century Rolls-Royce has powered, protected and connected our nation. In partnership with Government we have built highly differentiated sovereign capabilities in aero-engine and nuclear technology.
Through Rolls-Royce, the UK is one of only two countries that can research, develop, design, manufacture, assemble and service the large jet engines that keep the world’s international airlines in the skies. In defence, we provide the critical sovereign combat jet engine capability that helps protect our nation. No other single private company has our end-to-end nuclear capabilities and our civil nuclear Small Modular Reactor power station venture – Rolls-Royce SMR – is the only company with multiple contractual commitments to deliver units in Europe. It is well placed to become a market leader.
As we look to the future, there is now a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver a step-change in growth, resilience, security and prosperity by backing our expertise. Actions taken now to invest and grow the UK’s sovereign aerospace and nuclear capabilities have enormous potential to drive growth, skills and jobs over the next few decades.
