The global aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is expected to return to growth with sector revenues estimated to grow at 2 percent in 2017, according to Deloitte's 2017 Global aerospace and defense sector outlook. "After multi-year declines in revenues, the defense sub-sector is expected to grow at 3.2 percent in 2017. This increase is due to continued concerns about global security threats, growth in US defense budgets, as well as higher defense spending in the Middle East, Japan, South Korea and India," said Tom Captain, Deloitte Global Aerospace and Defense Leader.

Our Live on Day One PLM program focuses on the early creative and sourcing process where designers, merchants and suppliers capture and share inspirations about ideas
