      Aerospace, Defence & Security

      Emerging markets, shrinking defence budgets, constant technological advances, increasing regulation and evolving threats to national security have all fueled a chaotic aerospace and defence market

      As the nature of security and defence moves towards smart technologies, to master this industry, manufacturers and contractors require strategically focused leaders to engage new markets and deliver innovative products on tighter budgets.

      For the established multinational passenger jet manufacturers, scaling production to meet a backlog of orders and rising demand remains their biggest challenge. This has opened a gap for innovative small businesses to gain access to these international programs.
