Aerospace and defence

Alberta is highly regarded for its capabilities in the aerospace and defence industry, and Alberta companies offer a wide range of aerospace goods and services. Major areas of opportunity include robotics and unmanned vehicle systems (UVS); defence electronics; space sciences and aerospace geomatics; manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MMRO); and, logistic support to the military.

The players in Alberta's aerospace sector are competitive nationally and in the world market: our companies are expanding into new markets as well as offering supply chain opportunities to multi-national OEMs wishing to expend their Industrial and Regional Benefit obligations. With increasing globalization, Alberta's value as an aerospace and defence industry hub will continue to grow.
