New program aims at giving Alberta's aerospace and defence industry a global advantage

Published on March 31, 2011

Recently announced, the Province of Alberta's Finance and Enterprise  is developing a business productivity and competitiveness program for the Alberta aerospace and defence sector. Synergetics Group Inc will be assisting the government in establishing a program that develops industry so it can achieve a better share of the overall revenue potential.

Canada’s aerospace sector is the fifth largest aerospace manufacturing and service supplier in the world and in 2009 generated approximately $22 billion in revenue, with $1.3 billion coming from Alberta.

The program will enhance the capabilities of Alberta companies and increase competitiveness and productivity.  For more information on this project read the letter to the A&D sector written by David Peace, Senior Director for Aerospace and Defence Industry Development.
