Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur welcomed participants to the Canada-Ohio Aerospace Summit hosted by the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) from January 11-12, 2012 at the OAI facility in Cleveland, Ohio.

"OAI is an important partner in our regional job creation strategy, said Kaptur. "Through partnership and innovation, OAI provides value in the aerospace industry. By creating an international alliance with Canada, OAI extends our reach on the continent as leaders in aviation, aerospace, and aeronautics."

The purpose of the event was to foster commercial partnerships, technology transfer and collaborative research. Over 100 participants from industry, research organizations and academia attended the two-day event and over 130 business-to-business appointments between Canadian and Ohio-based firms were held.
