The Great Lakes Aviation and Space Technology Alliance (GLASTA) was formed in 2022 through a bi-national Memorandum of Understanding between The Ohio Aerospace Institute, the Council of the Great Lakes Region, and Aero Montréal. GLASTA’s purpose is to strategically explore our bilateral, regional opportunities for collaborative innovation, supply chain and business development within the aerospace industry.

We are thrilled to announce the inaugural GLASTA Symposium, an event that offers participants an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace across the Great Lakes region. The focus of this year’s Symposium will be on opportunities in Ohio and Quebec within the Advanced Air Mobility and Space sectors. Join peers from Ohio and Canada as we gather to set a foundation from which the alliance can develop. Presenters from influential Canadian organizations will join their US counterparts to discuss current research, infrastructure and supply chain, and the collaborative possibilities for the future. Join us as we create the future of Great Lakes aerospace, by redefining boundaries and possibilities.
