Aéro Montréal's mission is to mobilize stakeholders in Quebec’s aerospace ecosystem to support its global reach, innovation capacity and growth. | Message from the President | Dear members, dear partners, A large number of you joined us for the second part of the Global Aerospace Supply Chain Summit. I would like to sincerely thank you. On October 26, more than 550 participants from all over the world and nearly 35 world-class speakers were present in person at the Palais des congrès de Montréal or virtually on the Swapcard platform to “Shape the future of a more sustainable supply chain.” The discussions were productive and confirmed our companies’ commitment to rethink the industry in order to adapt it to tomorrow’s world: building a more sustainable, more inclusive, more collaborative future that constantly pushes the boundaries to innovate. This event was not our last meeting of the year. To close 2021, I am pleased to invite you to the Four Seasons Hotel, in Montréal, on Friday, December 10, for the Gilles Demers Gala. We will celebrate the boldness and creativity of our Québec aerospace SMEs. This year, 19 companies are competing, a record number of applications that have been carefully evaluated by our jury of industry experts. For one evening, we will celebrate the winners of this competition and reconnect at this historic and eagerly awaited gala, which will feature 1945 The Band (Paul Chacra).
