ITPS Canada is at the Future African Air Force, 3rd Edition in Bishoftu, Ethiopia. Giorgio Clementi, our Executive Chairman, was invited to give a keynote address today. Giorgio’s presentation, “The need for Independent Test and Evaluation Capability in Africa,” sparked a lot of interest as Air Forces look to train and upgrade aircraft.

ITPS has delivered world-class training to Africa in both our flight test and tactical training divisions. We thank the Ethiopian Air Force for their kind invitation to this event celebrating the 90th Anniversary of this Air Force.

ITPS looks forward to continuing discussions with the Allied forces in attendance as well as industry partners we have met today.

Tomorrow starts the Black Lion Air Show at the Bishoftu Air Base. We are exhibiting at booth 321 from January 23-27, 2026. Stop by and let’s talk flight test, tactical training and learn more about our vast experience in engineering cost-effective upgrades on legacy aircraft.
