Canada offers an attractive proposition as a target market for the EU aviation industry, with high potential for cooperation with Canadian companies. The consistently growing, high-tech and export-oriented Canadian market is a driving force in international aviation. Greater Montréal is considered one of the most important aerospace regions in the world. Canadian and European suppliers, technology partners and end customers cooperate ever more closely to find solutions to common challenges in the context of global supply chains, sustainability and digitization.
For all companies and research institutions interested in cooperation opportunities with Canada, the Aviation, Space & Defense Sector Group of the Enterprise Europe Network, in cooperation with the Canadian Trade Commissioner, the region of Québec and the European-Canadian Centre for Innovation and Research, will offer several opportunities for information, networking and market development in spring and summer 2024.
The focus will be on the following topics:
• New materials & additive manufacturing
• Emission-reducing technologies (“Green aviation”)
• Drones, UAVs & Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
Two unique webinars are planned, as well as the reception of a Canadian company mission and the opportunity for 1:1 matchmaking at ILA Berlin in June.
The second webinar focuses on R&D&I.

Description
The webinar will focus on opportunities for cooperation within the framework of relevant international funding programs with a particular focus on aviation. Special attention will be paid to the European research framework program "Horizon Europe", in which Canadian participants have been able to participate since the end of 2023 due to an association agreement.
Good practice examples of successful collaborations will be presented, as well as the support available from the participating organizations for networking and consortium building, followed by a Q&A session.
