NARRATOR: Ever wonder where that plane was made?
That engine, landing gear or avionics system? Or how about the ideas that are the foundation
of tomorrow's greener, more fuel efficient aircraft?
It may surprise you, but many of the ideas that will change the aerospace industry are
happening right here - in Ontario. Ontario is home to one of the world's most vibrant Aerospace industries.
Over 200 companies like Bombardier, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Pratt and Whitney Canada and UTC Aerospace
Systems have facilities here.
Supplying parts and components to OEMs and Tier One suppliers worldwide.
Dave Kroetsch, Aeryon Labs: We're applying technologies to the aerospace
industry in ways that other people just haven't.
The programs that are being created here, the acceleration centres, the incubators are,
you know, really spurring on that innovation economy.
Dr. David Zingg, UTIAS: So the two big drivers for aviation going
forward are going to be trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and trying to reduce fuel burn
per passenger kilometre.
And UTIAS is working on all of those fronts.
Simon Roberts, Bombardier: Bombardier is clearly export-orientated.
For our Q400, we have 41 customers in 40 different countries.
We've been on this site for 82 years, built over 8,300 aircraft. We couldn't have done
that without the supply chain within Ontario.
Moira Harvey, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty: So access to skilled trades and skilled labour,
including engineering, is very key to our success and our ability to attracting new business.
Simon Roberts, Bombardier: We have the ability to connect education,
research and development and industry here, in the province.
Dr. David Zingg, UTIAS: We have partnerships with Bombardier and Pratt & Whitney in particular related to green aviation.
At UTIAS, we're able to attract some of the best of the best.
Tim Whittier, UTC Aerospace Systems: Canada overall has a very favourable climate
in which to invest in aerospace. Both levels of government are very supportive of our industry.
Dave Kroetsch, Aeryon Labs: I think what Ontario really helps with is the incentivization to do business here.
NARRATOR: A proven aerospace history and infrastructure
A competitive tax and cost structure
A highly skilled and educated workforce trained in world-class educational institutions
Tomorrow's ideas... Are happening here... Today.
Ontario, Canada Your Next Big Idea.
