The field of aerospace is a pinnacle of high technology achievement. While many regions of the world wish to develop a toehold in the aerospace sector, few have been able to accomplish this feat as successfully as the Canadian province of Quebec. Canada’s aerospace industry has a history of over 100 years, and Quebec has emerged as its epicenter; the province drives 55% of the country’s total aerospace activity. A defining feature of Quebec’s aerospace industry is its concentration: 98% of its activity stems from the region of Greater Montreal, which renders it the third largest hub for aerospace activity in the world behind only Seattle in the United States and Toulouse in France. The Quebec aerospace cluster is comprised of 41,750 highly skilled employees, four prime contractors (OEMs), roughly 15 first-tier suppliers (integrators), and over 190 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Due to its extensive composition, Quebec is recognized to contain, within a 30-kilometer radius, enough companies with ample capabilities to build an entire aircraft.
