Frost & Sullivan 2010 Asia Pacific Aerospace and Defense Awards will recognize outstanding performances by companies in the Airlines, Airports, Manufacturing, MRO, General Aviation, Defense, Homeland Security and Major Support Services.

The Aerospace & Defense industry has grown to a very mature one over the last hundred years, yet it constantly evolves and fascinates with new innovative best practices. Frost & Sullivan will identify the exemplary industry achievements in the past year by top companies in the regional and global markets, developed through in-depth interviews, market analysis, performance measurements, and comparisons of market participants.

The companies commended as Award recipients are those with the diligence, perseverance, innovation and dedication required to develop a successful business plan and excel in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. As Asian economies grow, companies will have to deliver increasing value to customers to stay as leaders. The Aerospace and Defense Awards will continue to capture these efforts and recognize excellence each year.

The result of a merger between two very successful events and jointly organized by the Singapore Space and Technology Association (SSTA) and DTC Conferences, GSTC-SATTECH 2010 aims to showcase and discuss the latest concepts, possibilities, challenges, solutions and products in today’s dynamic Space Domains. The event will bring to Asia new and emerging space-related challenges and developments in the form of new ventures and its economic models relevant to the Asia-Pacific region.

GSTC-SATTECH 2010 will see Singapore striving towards establishing itself not only as a focal point where global space-related issues can be shared and discussed by top-level industry and government agency representatives, but also as a launch pad where pioneering and innovative concepts can be spearheaded and driven in all its related technological frontiers.
