Call for Nominations (Now Closed) 

The Atlantic Canada Aerospace and Defence Association (ACADA) is pleased to call for nominations for its 2024 Industry Excellence Awards.

This is your opportunity to showcase and celebrate your company’s accomplishments in the following categories:

  • Innovation Leader: Recognizes an ACADA member company that invested significantly in research and development initiatives to develop and commercialize an innovative product or service that has contributed to building the capability of the A&D industry in Atlantic Canada.
  • Business Development Distinction: Recognizes an ACADA member company that has secured a significant defence or commercial contract through their strategic planning and dedicated business development efforts, effectively capitalizing on opportunities to achieve outstanding success.
  • Most Promising Start-Up or Business Diversification: Recognizes an ACADA member company, either an early-stage start-up or an established business that has diversified into the A&D industry in the past two years, that can demonstrate a successful market entry evidenced by established revenue streams or secured contracts.
  • Diversity and Inclusion Excellence: ACADA recognizes the role of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) as essential to the growth and continued success of any organization. This award recognizes an ACADA member company that has shown dedication and commitment to advance DEIB in their workplace by creating the structures to support under-represented groups (e.g., women, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, new Canadians, members of visible minorities, etc.) and, therefore, promoting diversity in the A&D industry.
