This is our Business Development Manager, Martijn Leijten, at the Dutch Embassy in Toronto during the Dutch Trade Mission on Sustainable Aviation & Innovation in Canada.
Martijn: βGreat week in Canada, diving into the local ecosystem and exploring strong potential for future aerospace collaborations. It was inspiring to travel with such a dedicated group.β
The mission’s aim was not only to establish connections with a vast network of potential business partners, knowledge institutions, and government agencies but also to gain valuable insights into the Canadian aviation industry and ecosystem.
The mission included visits to companies such as Downsview Aerospace Innovation & Research (DAIR), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), Airbus Canada, Air Canada, Harbour Air, ASCO Aerospace/Montana Aerospace, Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney, and others.
A big thank you to the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Canada, Consulate General of the Netherlands in Toronto, Consulate General of the Netherlands in Vancouver, Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) and NAG Advancing your Aerospace and Airport Business for their unwavering support, with special appreciation to Sandra Brandenburg for her outstanding coordination.
