Message from the President

Guillemets

Dear members, dear partners,

During this recovery period Aéro Montréal is committed to supporting Québec aerospace SMEs and empowering them with tools and information based on market trends. Accordingly, in collaboration with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Aéro Montréal’s team will be offering a series of webinars tailored to the needs of SMEs.

Starting September 2, in partnership with Canada Economic Development for Québec Regions, we will offer a webinar on the Aerospace Regional Recovery Initiative (ARRI). The objective will be to present the details of the ARRI program intended for aerospace SMEs. Registration is now open, so please mark it down in your calendars!

On September 16, we will be offering a webinar dedicated to demystifying the sales process. Stay tuned; registration will open soon.

Supporting SMEs also means recognizing the efforts made during the crisis and highlighting the commitment and boldness of the many companies in the sector that have managed to reinvent themselves.

A new edition of the Gilles-Demers Awards has been launched and you have until 26 September to submit your application. This year, this historic competition organized by Aéro Montréal will have a special attribute. It will be a unique opportunity to spotlight Québec SMEs that have demonstrated leadership in wealth creation and outreach, commitment to innovation, or business development and internationalization. The visibility offered by this competition will enable participating companies to position themselves as leaders in our industry, to enhance their reputation and to benefit from media visibility. I urge you to spread the word within your network!

The recovery is underway and it is together, by supporting all the players in the cluster, that we will succeed in rebuilding a strong and prosperous industry.

SUZANNE M. BENOÎT, President of Aéro Montréal
