    Upcoming Events

    March 22 and 25, 2010 

    Canada-Ukraine Technology and Partnership Forum - Monday March 22, Montreal Queen Elizabeth Hotel and Thursday March 25, Toronto (Ontario Ministry of International Trade and Investment.)

      Sponsored by:
     Neptec Design Group - Logo 
     Canada and Ukraine are both leaders in their respective specialities in aerospace.  Ukraine in the designing and manufacturing of space launch vehicle and Canada in satellites, communications and remote sensing.  Supporting the Ukrainian aerospace industry is a wide range of design and research institutions that made Ukraine the centre of excellence in the former Soviet Union in a wide range of sub-sectors including launch vehicles, aeronautics, advanced materials, physics, sensors and chemistry.  Canadian companies on the other hand have a need to innovate and to adopt new leading edge technologies in order to maintain global competitiveness. 

    These Canada-Ukraine Aerospace Technology and Partnership Forums follow in the successful footsteps of the recent $254 million communications satellite deal between MDA and the National Space Agency of Ukraine and the Canada Ukraine Aerospace and Aviation Business Summit held in Kyiv in, 2009, where leading Ukrainian and Canadian aerospace organizations met to discuss opportunities for space collaboration, technology acquisition and research opportunities. There was significant interest from Canadian companies that could not attend and for this reason these two “Technology and Partnership Forums” were organized to bring some of the best of what Ukraine’s aerospace sector has to offer to Canada.

    The Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine (www.stcu.int) is our main partner in this event.  This is an intergovernmental organization created by the G-7 and funded by the EU, United States and Canada.  Information on funding and research grants for partnering with Ukrainian organizations available from the STCU  will also be presented at the Forums.

    Co-organizers and sponsors: Canadian Embassy, Kyiv, Ukraine; Global Partnership Program;Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada; Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine (STCU), Aerospace Industry Association of Canada; MDA Satellite Communications; Export Development Canada; National Research Council of Canada; Ontario Ministry of International Trade and Investment and Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association (CERBA). Supporters: Canadian Space Agency; National Space Agency of Ukraine and Canada Ukraine Chamber of Commerce.
