Embraer has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with AICAT (Austrian Industrial Cooperation & Aviation Technology) aimed at enhancing international cooperation in the aerospace sector. The cooperation aims to strengthen ties with the main aerospace companies in Austria and explore additional opportunities such as joint research, technology development and contributions from the Austrian ecosystem to the supply chain of Embraer’s aircraft programmes. AICAT, an organisation affiliated with the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKO), represents the entire aviation technology community in Austria.
According to Reinhard Marak, CEO of AICAT, “For AICAT, an association representing about 100 Austrian aviation companies, most of which are SMEs and position themselves in the supply chain, an intensified cooperation with Embraer underpinned by an MoU is a great opportunity and will help both Embraer and the Austrian Aeronautical sector, creating a more structured collaboration for their mutual benefit.”
Marcio Monteiro, Market Intelligence Vice-President of Embraer Defense & Security, expressed gratitude for the partnership, stating, “Embraer and Austria have been building a long-term relationship for many years, and this partnership will continue to advance with the new memorandum of understanding. We thank AICAT, the companies and the Austrian government representatives for this important step in our partnership.”
The announcement was made at Embraer headquarters in São José dos Campos. Following the ceremony, representatives from Austrian aerospace companies and the Austrian Government had the opportunity to meet with Embraer specialists in various technologies to explore opportunities for cooperation.
