Bombardier Unveils Bold New Brand Identity Worldwide as Company Soars Toward an Ambitious Future

  • A new logo celebrates the company’s successful shift toward pure–play business aviation. The symbol itself, the Bombardier Mach, features the silhouette of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier, while the strokes of wind over a wing reference the company’s heritage
  • The employee value proposition “where heart meets mastery” focuses on Bombardier’s talented people, celebrating the workforce’s renowned passion, its incredible craftsmanship and profound technological expertise

MONTRÉAL, April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier, the worldwide leader in business aviation, today unveiled a new brand identity anchored by the evolution of the company’s logo. As Bombardier successfully moves forward as a company with a sole focus on designing, building and servicing the world’s best business jets, the new brand identity will reinforce and propel the company’s unique approach to its customers and stakeholders—putting people at the centre and instilling a one–of–a–kind sense of family.

Bombardier has established itself as a world leader in business aviation building on the pillars of its smooth–flying business jet portfolio, freshly expanded worldwide service network and a successful, growing Bombardier Defense team. Throughout its industry–defining history, Bombardier has maintained its bold innovative spirit while remaining true to its entrepreneurial roots and family values. The new brand identity reflects the success of Bombardier’s passionate and talented teams, who set the standard when it comes to delivering the highest performing jets and world–class service to their clients around the world.

“Today is a historic moment for more than 18,000 incredibly talented and passionate Bombardier team members. Our iconic company is looking forward with confidence and an innovative spirit, two notions captured elegantly in our new logo and brand evolution,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “Our clients worldwide are leaders who shape the world and who expect us to deliver a truly memorable experience. When asking them what sets Bombardier apart, the notion of ‘like family’ comes back time and again as a true differentiator.”

Martel added: “Finally, Bombardier would not be where it is today without the best people. They are true masters of their craft, bridging some of the world’s most complex technology with a highly personal and passionate approach to aircraft interior artistry, defense modifications, 24–7 services and much more. Our new company brand honours these highest standards our people themselves have set for our industry.”

A new logo, inspired by innovation and heritage

The new Bombardier logo celebrates the company’s successful shift toward building, designing, servicing and modifying the world’s best jets. The symbol itself, the Bombardier Mach, features the silhouette of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier—an ode to the ambition and innovative spirit of Bombardier’s talented people—while the strokes of wind over an aircraft reference the company’s deeply rooted heritage and the Learjet brand’s storied winglet iconography.

“This evolved brand is a catalyst for Bombardier to differentiate itself as a global leader, not just amongst aerospace and defense peers, but proudly with the world’s leading inspirational brands,” said Ève Laurier, Vice President, Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs, Bombardier. “Our brand has been crafted to coherently tie notions of our heritage and precision–driven engineering. The brand describes our future, in which we will express a heightened sophistication of our technology, how our employees master their craft and, above all, the customer experience.”

Laurier added: “Bombardier’s new impactful logo echoes the pride and passion we all have for our industry and will further be supported by a suite of evocative imagery featuring Bombardier’s own team members at the peak of their respective craft. Their work to elevate performance and sustainability in business aviation, services and defense continues to redefine the industry.”

Fusing technology with the notions of customer experience and sophistication is further reflected in the bespoke typeface leveraged by the new logo. The typeface is both modern and refined with subtle serifs that connect to the language of the symbol and highlight Bombardier’s passion for precision.

Forward–looking, forward–thinking

The Bombardier Global 8000* aircraft is a key example of this. This “flagship of a new era” is set to enter service in the second half of 2025(1) as the ultimate all–in–one jet, delivering the fastest speed, longest range and the smoothest ride in the industry. In parallel, Bombardier has further taken the lead on the future of aircraft design with the EcoJet research project, a groundbreaking initiative that leverages the blended–wing–body aircraft configuration to reduce emissions by up to 50%(1).

Bombardier Defense will also carry forward its mission as a flexible and reliable ally to worldwide governments and militaries. The group will continue operating under the Bombardier Defense flag, offering innovative capabilities equipped on aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 6500, which are changing what is possible in the surveillance, reconnaissance and multi–mission spaces, and more.

About Bombardier

At Bombardier (BBD–B.TO), we design, build, modify and maintain the world’s best–performing aircraft for the world’s most discerning people and businesses, governments and militaries. That means not simply exceeding standards, but understanding customers well enough to anticipate their unspoken needs.

And we are passionate about delivering unrivaled craftsmanship and care, giving our customers greater confidence and the elevated experience they deserve and expect.

Bombardier présente mondialement une nouvelle image de marque audacieuse alors que l’entreprise s’élance vers un avenir ambitieux

  • Un nouveau logo salue la transition réussie de l’entreprise comme société d’aviation d’affaires à vocation unique. Le symbole lui–même, le Mach de Bombardier, présente la silhouette d’un avion qui franchit le mur du son, tandis que les rafales de vent au–dessus d’une aile évoquent l’héritage de l’entreprise
  • La proposition de valeur des employés « La rencontre du cœur et du savoir–faire » est centrée sur les équipes talentueuses de Bombardier, saluant le dynamisme réputé de sa main–d’œuvre, son savoir–faire incroyable et sa profonde expertise technique

MONTRÉAL, 24 avr. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier, chef de file mondial de l’aviation d’affaires, a présenté aujourd’hui sa nouvelle image de marque ancrée dans l’évolution de son logo. Alors que Bombardier progresse avec succès comme entreprise à vocation unique de conception, de construction et d’entretien des meilleurs avions d’affaires du monde, la nouvelle image de marque renforcera et propulsera l’approche authentique de l’entreprise auprès de ses clients, fournisseurs et investisseurs – plaçant l’élément humain au centre et insufflant un sens de la famille unique en son genre.

Bombardier s’est démarquée comme chef de file mondial de l’aviation d’affaires en s’appuyant sur des piliers solides : son portefeuille d’avions d’affaires au vol en douceur, son réseau de service mondial élargi et une équipe Bombardier Défense en plein essor qui connaît un grand succès. Durant toute son histoire qui a défini l’industrie, Bombardier a entretenu un esprit d’innovation audacieux tout en restant fidèle à ses racines d’entreprise et à ses valeurs familiales. La nouvelle image de marque reflète la réussite des équipes passionnées et talentueuses de Bombardier, qui ont fixé la norme en livrant les avions les plus performants et un service de calibre mondial à leurs clients du monde entier.

« Aujourd’hui est un moment historique pour plus de 18 000 membres talentueux et passionnés de l’équipe Bombardier. Notre entreprise emblématique regarde vers l’avenir avec confiance et avec un esprit d’innovation, deux notions qu’incarnent avec élégance notre nouveau logo et l’évolution de notre image de marque, a déclaré Éric Martel, président et chef de la direction de Bombardier. Nos clients du monde entier sont des leaders qui façonnent le monde et qui s’attendent à ce que nous livrions une expérience absolument mémorable. Lorsque nous leur demandons ce qui distingue Bombardier des autres, la notion de « sens de la famille » revient à maintes reprises comme facteur de différenciation. »

M. Martel a ajouté : « Enfin, Bombardier ne serait pas là où elle se trouve aujourd’hui sans les meilleurs talents. Ce sont de véritables maîtres de leur métier, alliant certaines des technologies les plus complexes du monde à une approche très personnelle et empreinte de passion en matière d’aménagement intérieur des avions, de modifications pour le secteur de la défense, de service jour et nuit, et plus encore. Notre nouvelle image de marque fait honneur à ces standards les plus élevés que les membres de nos équipes ont établis pour notre industrie. »

Un nouveau logo, inspiré par l’innovation et l’héritage de l’entreprise

Le nouveau logo de Bombardier salue la transition réussie de l’entreprise vers la conception, la construction, l’entretien et la modification des meilleurs avions du monde. Le symbole lui–même, le Mach de Bombardier, présente la silhouette d’un avion qui franchit le mur du son – éloge de l’ambition et de l’esprit novateur des talentueux employés de Bombardier – tandis que les rafales au–dessus d’un avion évoquent l'héritage solidement enraciné de l’entreprise ainsi que l’image de l’ailette de la marque Learjet qui a fait l’histoire.

« Cette image de marque évoluée est un catalyseur qui permet à Bombardier de se démarquer comme un chef de file international, non seulement parmi ses pairs de l’aéronautique et de la défense, mais fièrement auprès des grandes marques inspirantes du monde, a déclaré Ève Laurier, vice–présidente des Communications, du Marketing et des Affaires publiques de Bombardier. Notre marque a été créée pour combiner avec cohérence les notions de notre héritage et de nos capacités d’ingénierie de précision. L’image de marque décrit notre futur, dans lequel nous exprimerons l’accroissement continu de la sophistication de notre technologie, du degré de savoir–faire de nos employés et, surtout, de l’expérience client. »

Mme Laurier a ajouté : « Le nouveau logo percutant de Bombardier fait écho à la fierté et à la passion que nous avons tous pour notre industrie et sera appuyé par une série d’images évocatrices mettant en lumière les membres de la propre équipe de Bombardier au sommet de leur art. Leur travail pour rehausser la performance et l’écoresponsabilité de l’aviation d’affaires, des services et de la défense continue de redéfinir l’industrie. »

Le mariage de la technologie avec les concepts d’expérience client et de sophistication se reflète d’autant plus dans le lettrage personnalisé intégré au nouveau logo. Cette police de caractères est à la fois moderne et élégante avec des empattements effilés qui incarnent la signification du symbole et soulignent l’importance qu’accorde Bombardier à la précision.

Vision prospective, pensée prospective

L’avion Bombardier Global 8000* en est un exemple clé. Cet « avion phare d’une nouvelle ère » doit entrer en service pendant la seconde moitié de 2025(1) comme avion tout–en–un ultime, offrant la plus grande vitesse, le plus long rayon d’action et le vol le plus en douceur de l’industrie. En parallèle, Bombardier a pris à nouveau les devants pour définir le futur de la conception des avions avec son projet de recherche EcoJet, une initiative avant–gardiste qui fait appel au profil aile–fuselage intégré pour réduire les émissions jusqu’à 50 %.(1)

Bombardier Défense poursuivra également sa mission de partenaire flexible et fiable pour les gouvernements et entités militaires du monde entier. Le groupe maintiendra ses activités sous la bannière Bombardier Défense, offrant des capacités novatrices pour équiper des avions tels que le Bombardier Global 6500, qui changent les possibilités dans l’univers de la surveillance, de la reconnaissance et des missions polyvalentes, et plus encore.

Biolojic Design Announces that Nektar Therapeutics Has Exercised Its License Option to Develop an AI-Designed Agonistic Antibody Targeting TNFR2 for the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases

TEL AVIV, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biolojic Design, a biotechnology company that uses AI to transform antibodies into intelligent medicinal solutions, today announced that Nektar exercised its license option to develop a program resulting from the companies’ research collaboration initiated in 2021. The research collaboration was established to design and test agonistic antibodies targeting tumor necrosis factor receptor type II (TNFR2), a novel, biologically–validated disease target implicated in a wide range of autoimmune diseases that has been difficult to drug with conventional medicines.

The antibody program selected for development (now known as NKTR–0165) is designed to modulate the TNFR2 pathway in order to agonize – or activate – T regulatory cells and other anti–inflammatory cell populations, making this a promising approach to stimulating the immune system in ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, vitiligo, and other autoimmune disease states. Under the 2021 research agreement, Nektar has tested antibodies computationally designed by Biolojic Design to precisely agonize the TNFR2 receptor.

Following successful preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, Nektar decided to exercise the license option and has been advancing the program through IND enabling studies since late December, 2023. If the NKTR–0165 candidate proceeds through clinical development, Biolojic Design is entitled to development milestones and sales royalties.

Yanay Ofran, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Biolojic Design: “The unique agonist antibodies directed at TNFR2 are yet another demonstration of the power of Biolojic’s AI platform for antibody design. Not only are these antibodies able to functionally activate TNFR2, they do so in a highly unique fashion. We look forward to seeing Nektar advance this promising molecule through clinical development for the potential benefit of the many patients who suffer from autoimmune disease.”

Jonathan Zalevsky, Chief Research and Development Officer of Nektar: “We’re excited to be advancing NKTR–0165 through IND–enabling studies in 2024, with the goal of filing an IND in the first half of 2025.”

Small Island States Fostering Effective Energy Transition To Achieve a Blue Economy

By Aimable Twahirwa
ABU DHABI, Apr 24 2024 – Small Island Developing States (SIDS), a distinct group of 39 states and 18 associate members, are making efforts to promote the blue economy as they possess enormous potential for renewable energy relying on the sea.

Experts predict that switching to renewables will help SIDS countries decarbonize power generation as an appropriate option for islands to cut their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, fulfill Paris Agreement pledges and contribute to the global fight against climate change.

In addition, ocean energy technologies, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), are likely to offer high predictability, making them suitable to provide a continuous supply of power.

Dr Vince Henderson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business, Trade, and Energy, Dominican Republic, told IPS that the key has been prioritizing the development of various forms of renewable energies, focusing on clean and efficient energy exploration and exploitation.

While SIDS have shown climate leadership through 100 percent renewable energy ambitions, experts believe that realizing these ambitions is critical.

“Renewable energy innovations are a winning formula for our blue economy’s development,” said Henderson, whose country generates 85 percent of its electricity from imported fossil fuels.

By 2030, the renewable energy generation output for the whole SIDS member states is anticipated to reach 9.9 GW from current 5 GW.

According to an analysis by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on the updated NDCs, a minimum investment of USD 10.5 billion is required to meet the additional capacity target, of which 3.2 GW is dependent on external financial assistance.

“Improving a new system for mobilizing the much-needed financing to implement effective decarbonization actions is crucial,” Henderson said in an exclusive interview.

While some experts believe that the widespread use of renewable energy among SIDS could have a positive impact on reducing the cost of renewable energy, such as solar photovoltaic, wind, and bioenergy, providing reliable and affordable electricity is considered an important step to ensure that the SIDS population is accessible to reliable social services such as health, education, public transport, and housing services.

Arieta Gonelevu Rakai, Regional Programme Officer, Islands, at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), told IPS that despite progress achieved in decarbonizing the electricity sector, challenges remain in transport, industry, tourism, and services for islands.

The ambitious target means that Island states will continue to upgrade renewable technologies to stimulate the rapid expansion of renewable energy installation while improving the efficiency and stability of power generation

“International cooperation and collaborations between governments, regional and multilateral institutions, and the public and private sector are needed to drive this transformation,” said Rakai during an exclusive interview.

Through established partnerships such as the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative (LHI), which is coordinated by IRENA, small islands saw a steady increase in the newly-installed capacity of clean energy thanks to a partnership with various stakeholders working with donor agencies to provide streamlined access to grants.

While new efforts seek to explore energy for the benefits of blue economic resources, some experts believe that renewable technologies, although not yet cost competitive with fossil fuels, are set to become less costly over time.

Miriam Dalli, Malta’s Minister of Environment, Energy, and Regeneration of the Grand Harbour, stressed that for small islands to meet their internal electricity demand while reducing their imports of electricity and fossil fuels, the development of alternative energy sources is crucial.

For example, Malta, being an archipelago situated in the Mediterranean Sea, in which the islands generally use diesel generators to produce electrical power, is emphasizing increasing the share of primary energy consumption that comes from renewable technologies, with a major focus on solar and wind that sweeps its coasts and land.

Sea wave energy happens to be another source of renewable energy in Malta, using the energy released by the wave to produce energy.

“Marine energy is turning to be the most viable means for Small Island’s energy generation,” Dalli told IPS of the initiatives currently undertaken by the Mediterranean Archipelago to shift from fossil fuels to clean energy.

Scientists and decision-makers gathered earlier last week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, for the 14th Session of the IRENA Assembly. Current global efforts to decarbonize both energy supply and demand from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass can help small  islands reap the benefits of a rapidly growing ocean economy.

According to the latest IRENA’s projections, ocean energy can provide clean, local and predictable electricity to coastal countries and island communities around the world, with the potential to generate a total capacity of 350 gigawatts (GW) by 2050.

The deployment of ocean energy technologies, according to experts, can also facilitate new revenue streams and higher cash flows for territories, helping to reduce the levelized cost of electricity in these locations.

Kerryne James, Minister of Climate Resilience, Environment, and Renewable Energy of Grenada, points out that some islands, such as Grenada, are perfect for solar and geothermal power.

Grenada’s clean energy goals for increasing energy efficiency and implementing renewable energy from geothermal, wind, and solar technologies are matched by its renewable resources, which more than exceed current electric sector capacity.

“We are currently implementing appropriate plans to further explore various renewable energy sources and support grid resilience,” she told IPS.
