Hey all, thanks for dropping by again,

CAP (Canadian Aerospace Partnership) has come to an agreement on a 20 year vision towards the national aerospace industry. Even though this is on a nation-wide basis, the strategies that are set out on this nation-wide approach benefit the GTA cluster in numerous ways.

Realizing the amount of potential present in the aerospace industry in Canada, these strategies were developed so that for the entire 20 year span, Canada will be emerging with its several unique clusters such as Montreal and GTA, in outstanding ways.

So you may think to yourself saying why are they doing this? What is the main focus?. As stated on the article, here is the main focus from word to word.

“Ontario is home to a diverse blend of strong aerospace companies, working in areas such as aircraft, engines, components, flight simulators and electronic systems,” said Ontario Economic Development Minister Joseph Cordiano. “By developing a national aerospace strategy, we will expand the opportunities available to our firms, and enjoy the economic benefits a vigorous aerospace sector provides.”

What Joseph illustrates makes sense; the diverse aerospace companies that exist in the aerospace industry are creating opportunities and jobs for the economy with each improvement. Implementing this strategy will capitalize on these opportunities and even creating more will ensure the long lived success of this cluster.

Where are the strategies coming from? well, CAP is receiving strategies from three main networks. These are three working groups. Technology Investment and Commercialization, Major Platforms Working Group and Public Procurement working group are the three groups that are aiding CAP with the necessary strategies.

This is great news for the GTA cluster and the Canadian Aerospace, with this; we can ensure that the development of the aerospace in Canada is being looked after very well.

Until next time, Take care.
