Aeromart Montréal at the Palais des congrès de Montréal: a vital platform for the global aeronautics industry

MONTRÉAL, March 25, 2025 /CNW/ - The 9^th edition of Aeromart Montréal will be held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal from March 25 to 27, 2025. Since its launch in 2008, this event has become the North American benchmark for business development in the aeronautics industry. With an anticipated 1,200 participants, the 2025 edition will be the most ambitious to date, strengthening Montréal's global position as an industry hub.

A veritable business and innovation crossroads for the aeronautics industry, Aeromart Montréal is a flagship event that connects major contractors, SMEs and innovative businesses through targeted meetings and strategic conferences. The significant growth in the number of participants since the first edition testifies to the relevance and effectiveness of the prearranged business meeting format that characterizes Aeromart, enabling participants to concretize commercial opportunities during this business convention.

Beyond stimulating trade, Aeromart Montréal also addresses, through strategic conferences, societal subjects relevant to the current aeronautics ecosystem. This year, artificial intelligence, environmental impact and human resources will be on the agenda.

Montréal, a natural choice

Inspired by the success of Aeromart Toulouse, which will be holding its 16^th edition next year, Aeromart Montréal launched in 2008 with a triple mission: facilitate global supply chain integration, position Canada as a top-tier aeronautics hub and offer Canadian suppliers the opportunity to develop their activities on a global scale. Recognized for its comprehensive aeronautics ecosystem—one of the rare places in the world where a plane can be built from A to Z—Montréal is naturally the ideal host for this unique platform.

Having become the premier international aeronautics event in Canada, Aeromart Montréal has generated, through its nine editions at the Palais des congrès, close to $12.5 million in economic spinoffs and continues to provide an exceptional showcase for promoting Canadian expertise throughout the world.

On the basis of this success, the organizers have already confirmed Aeromart Montréal's return to the Palais des congrès in spring 2027, consolidating this biannual event's deep roots in Québec's metropolis.

Successful international expansion 

The first major event to be held in Canada in 2021—in hybrid format—in the context of the pandemic, Aeromart Montréal is not the only offspring of the European edition and is part of an international approach. The banner took flight around the world with editions in Nagoya (6^th edition this year) and Hyderabad (2^nd edition in 2026). This expansion confirms the relevance of the Aeromart model and its role as an engine in the development of the global aeronautics industry, strengthening Montréal's strategic position at the heart of this dynamic industry.
