New businesses, development and integration of navigation systems, Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) development and software development are also under discussion between the two companies, which intend to exchange and disclose certain information regarding their experiences, capabilities, products, systems and services.

In the specific area of R&D focused on IMA, the relationship has been ongoing for more than 15 years, including projects under the scope of the European Union’s research framework.

Embraer has a long-term strategic commitment with Portugal in the development of its aerospace and defense ecosystem. The most recent example has been an investment of 74 million euros in OGMA S.A., allowing the company to become certified for the maintenance of Pratt & Whitney's GTF engines used by the new generation of commercial aircraft. That agreement will create 300 jobs and could triple the annual turnover of OGMA to 600 million euros.

In line with this strategy, several initiatives were put in place earlier in the year, including the signing of a MOU with idD Portugal Defence and ETI for cooperation in technology development in the respective areas of expertise.
