About CARIC
“Collaborative approaches to R&D yield better results for both participants and the
economy. This is particularly true for an industry like aerospace, in which R&D is a
costly, long-term undertaking.” – Emerson Report

Officially launched in April 2014

$30M financial support from Industry Canada
Honourable James Moore, announcing his
endorsement of the creation of a new
national aerospace research and
technology network.
6
CARIC’s Mission
1. To facilitate communications and collaboration
among aerospace companies, researchers and
academics…
…and provide financial support to collaborative
R&TD projects.
7
CARIC’s Mission
2.
To launch initiatives whose primary purpose is to:
– serve as catalysts for collaboration that can help to overcome
the silo effects;
– promote faster, more relevant R&D.
8
Our Vision
 Our core business: R&D projects that lead to
innovative solutions
– Industry focused
 A key facilitator for the Canadian aerospace
research and technology development
9
Outcomes - Metrics
1) CARIC accelerates aerospace research
 Research projects launched (TRL 1-6)
 Involvement: academia, research centres and
industry
