Saab plans Canadian Gripen production network

Saab intends to develop a comprehensive industrial partnership in Canada if the country chooses its Gripen E fighter jet for its air force requirements. This proposed network would encompass key capabilities including aircraft production, final assembly processes, and ongoing maintenance operations. Furthermore, Saab envisions establishing training programs alongside long-term support services for the Gripen E within Canada. The initiative aims to foster domestic aerospace expertise and create jobs across various sectors of the Canadian industry. Successful selection by the Canadian government would trigger this significant investment and collaboration between Saab and local companies.
