Every few years, the Composites Knowledge Network (CKN) surveys Canadian companies to understand the composite industry’s health, status, priorities and challenges. This enables CKN to align its efforts to industry needs and priorities, including knowledge mobilization and advisory to government on programs to sustain and grow the industry.
Make sure your voice is heard by sharing your company’s experience with staffing, training, and impacts of inflation, global unrest, and more.
