Nearly 400 people gathered yesterday at the Palais des congrès de Montréal for the 7th edition of the Global Aerospace Supply Chain Summit on the theme “A more connected supply chain: Just a dream?
Bringing together players in the aerospace ecosystem from Canada, the United States and Europe, summit panelists focused their discussions on the future of a more connected, intelligent and sustainable supply chain. The summit was also an opportunity to take stock of emerging technologies and their contribution to the sector’s greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Put on by Aéro Montréal and created in partnership with BCI Aerospace, this event will be followed by Aeromart Montreal, which will take place from April 5 to 6, 2023.
“The aerospace industry ranks first among Québec’s manufacturing exports,” said Mélanie Lussier, President and CEO of Aéro Montréal. “Many of our companies are among the best in the world. As a cluster, we must enable our members to take advantage of new technologies and the sustainable transition we have embarked on. By working together, we will enable Québec to maintain its enviable position on the international stage.”
International delegations from nearly 15 different countries were represented at this 7th edition, which concluded with an international networking event.
“Québec’s expertise in aerospace has allowed us to position ourselves strategically on the international stage so that we are recognized as one of the world’s most important hubs. The reputation of our aerospace sector has been strengthened thanks to a complete ecosystem of actors who have been able to collaborate and contribute to Québec’s influence. I am very proud that the Ministry of International Relations and La Francophonie is working every day to enhance this image internationally and to encourage foreign partners and governments to consider Québec’s aerospace products,” said Martine Biron, Minister of International Relations and La Francophonie and Minister responsible for the Status of Women.
