Event description:

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF A MORE SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN

Building on the success of the first part of the sixth edition of the Global Supply Chain Summit, held in May 2021 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal (close to 600 participants over the two days, 445 platform users and nearly 35 world-class speakers), Aéro Montréal would like to take advantage of the autumn to continue discussions on the challenges facing the aerospace industry and to find solutions to meet them.

The Global Supply Chain Summit brings together all the players in the global aerospace industry and their suppliers. Its objective is to stimulate discussions on current best practices in procurement and to facilitate collaborations among industry players. It is the largest gathering of aerospace decision-makers in Canada in the field of procurement where future challenges and potential business opportunities are presented.

After 15 years of strong growth and development, our sector is now making a digital shift where innovation, the environment and startups are playing a key role in unlocking new growth opportunities and improving efficiency. In addition, it must respond to new challenges related to cyber security and reducing its carbon footprint. Supply chain players will be called upon to revamp their ways of doing things to offer their customers a greener and smarter product in order to remain competitive. Aéro Montréal is dedicating the 2021 edition of the Summit to this shift, which will forever change the dynamics of our industry and the ecosystem that supports it.

2021: A one-of-a-kind edition!

To adjust to a new reality and offer a safe event adapted to the needs of the market, the Summit has reinvented itself by offering a two-part format.

In May, two mornings of conferences and meetings enabled participants to take stock of the challenges facing the global supply chain in a context of profound transformation. International collaborations were in the spotlight and discussions focused on exploring new perspectives for the future. Roundtable discussions with key decision-makers from Canada and Europe provided an opportunity to discuss common challenges and global opportunities.

In October, participants will meet at the Palais des congrès de Montréal for a full-day, hybrid event. The event will precede Aéromart Montréal, one of the aerospace sector’s largest business conventions. Participants will be able to discuss solutions for creating a sustainable supply chain and reinventing themselves in a post-COVID era.

Each year, this major event in our calendar is an opportunity to showcase Québec's aerospace industry to a local and international audience, to strengthen our relationships on a global scale, and to highlight a country's expertise in aerospace innovation.

France will be the country of honor!

The 2021 series of events will also focus on addressing succession and workforce challenges. Digital professions will be highlighted and we will promote the sector’s appeal by offering an immersive experience through virtual factory tours.

Event objectives:

• Showcase the main advances made in global aerospace supply chains;
• Stimulate the growth of the aerospace sector in Montréal by sharing strategic challenges and best practices and tactics related to aerospace supply chain management;
• Promote the attractiveness of the aerospace sector for the next generation of workers by offering an immersive experience to participants;
• Increase business opportunities in aerospace procurement;
• Strengthen ties between global aerospace leaders and the entire Montréal aerospace industry;
• Mobilize the main players in the field around common strategies to make the supply chain more sustainable;
• Foster the sustainability of the aerospace supply chain with an emphasis on local resilience and competitiveness;
• Encourage partnerships between various organizations.
