By gathering all companies of the segment into one extensive network of collaboration and synergy, the Cluster encourages competitiveness in the local and global market and strengthens businesses of all sizes.
The Technology Park manages the Cluster and uses all its connection expertise to promote innovation and entrepreneurship to the member companies as well.
The Cluster is a pioneer in Brazil, and acknowledgedly the most important of its kind in Latin America. It gathers over 100 companies totaling over 15,000 jobs. Embraer, the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, is its anchor-company.
The companies in the Cluster operate in engineering, avionics, tooling, logistics, industry and manufacture, defense, security, and space.
To achieve its purpose, the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster engages in various activities dedicated to training and qualification, internationalization, fund raising and support to technological innovation.
