  • Aerospace Overview Slemon Park
    Aerospace SLEMON PARK, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Slemon Park provides a competitive and cost-efficient business climate that is crucial KPMG Cost Competitiveness Study to helping aerospace companies increase their return on investment, thereby enhancing their ability to invest in development, grow their market share and beat their competition. Prince Edward Island is home to Canada’s only aerospace tax rebate program. Aerospace companies who choose Slemon Park can generate more profit by taking Aerospace - total Cost of Operating - Index to US advantage of Prince Edward Island’s Aerospace Tax Rebate program for aviation-related companies. The Aerospace Tax Rebate incentive includes an annual rebate on corporate income tax paid to the province, and an annual rebate of real property tax relating to ownership or lease of property in Prince Edward Island. It’s no wonder that in a 2016 Cost Competitive Study completed by KPMG, which reviewed the total cost of doing aerospace business in 111 cities and 10 countries, Prince Edward Island had the 3rd highest net profit after tax amongst the 100 plus cities studied which included the major aerospace hubs of Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. This proof also translates to our current aerospace clientele. Slemon Park’s business environment has proved effective for some of the best-known names in aerospace. StandardAero and Honeywell Aftermarket Service have had operations in Slemon Park for more than 25 years. There is a reason why StandardAero and Honeywell have operated in Slemon Park for more than 25 years – they are profitable in the global competitive aerospace arena.

  • Memoria 2015
    MEMORIA de Actividades 2015 Qué es la Sociedad Geográfica Española Espíritus inquietos y románticos. Aventureros románticos, espíritus inquietos, observadores curiosos… el viejo espíritu de los Livingstone, Burton o de nuestro Manuel Iradier, sigue aún vivo y por increíble que parezca, aún hay fronteras y retos para la exploración. La Sociedad Geográfica Es- pañola es heredera de esta larga tradición exploradora y ha conseguido unir a gentes provenientes de todos los ámbitos en el interés común de recuperar la memoria de los grandes exploradores y descubridores españoles y de dar a conocer al mundo las aportaciones actuales de geógrafos, intelectuales y viajeros españoles. Ya no quedan en los mapas grandes espacios en blanco por rellenar y los satélites nos permiten conocer los más mínimos detalles de cualquier rincón del planeta, pero la ciencia sigue teniendo ante sí horizontes desconocidos y el ser humano, que es un explorador nato desde los tiempos prehistóricos, se siente irrefrenable- mente atraído por descubrir lo que el universo parece ocultarle. Los nuevos horizontes de la exploración científica en el siglo XXI son lugares cuyos secretos aún no han sido desvelados como los fondos marinos y las re- giones polares e, indudablemente, el espacio y en particular Marte, convertido hoy en el equivalente de lo que en su día fueron América o Australia. El conoci- miento de estas tres nuevas fronteras nos revelará mucho más sobre el mundo Junta Directiva en el que vivimos.
