Avro Aerospace opens venture studio in Regina [Video]

A company with a Regina connection is preparing to launch rockets into space. Avro Aerospace is assembling teams in Saskatchewan and Alberta to work on the project.

On Tuesday, the company held its grand opening of the Avro Venture Studio in Regina.

The studio will serve as a hub for the company’s orbital/launch operations and the development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) models to assist manoeuverability in UAVS, rockets and advanced supersonic air travel.

“We currently have eight folks here at the AVRO Venture Lab upon its founding,” CEO Vladimir Mravcak told CTV News. “We hope to expand phase two by the end of the year which will be up to 20 employees.”

Engineering teams are being assembled in both Calgary and Regina.

“There’s a lot of cross synergies with the innovations that we’re looking at and an opportunity to move stuff forward,” engineer Will Ingenthron explained.
