ChristchurchNZ CEO Ali Adams: A bold ambition for Canterbury
Canterbury has taken a major step toward becoming a global centre for aerospace innovation.
The launch of the Waitaha Canterbury Aerospace Strategy last month signals our region’s ambition to be a world leader in aerospace by 2035. It is Canterbury’s unique geography, strong infrastructure, and collaborative culture that gives us an edge. Meanwhile, local companies like Dawn Aerospace and Kea Aerospace are already solving global and national problems.
The Strategy sets ambitious goals, including growing the sector to over $1 billion in regional economic impact and creating more than 1500 high-skill jobs by 2035. It envisions a future where aerospace is not only an economic engine, but an inclusive and diverse force for good – supporting our people, protecting our planet, and putting Canterbury on the global aerospace map.
