Monday, Gov. Rick Scott led the inauguration ceremony for the Florida Pavilion at the 2015 International Paris Air Show. Governor Scott led a delegation of 17 Florida aviation and aerospace, and defense and homeland security small businesses, and economic development leaders at the Paris Air Show. This year, the Florida Pavilion is once again the largest of any state, showcasing companies that demonstrate the innovation and expertise that makes Florida an international business leader.

Governor Scott said, “Florida is the best state in the nation for business. We are here to meet with leading global aviation and aerospace companies so they know we’re serious about providing the best business climate in the nation in Florida. We have created more than 865,000 private sector jobs in four and a half years and the state economy continues to strengthen.”

The Paris Air Show provides Enterprise Florida and the small businesses and organizations exhibiting in the Florida Pavilion with a unique opportunity to demonstrate their competitive advantages in the aviation and aerospace industry. Governor Scott, EFI president & CEO Bill Johnson and EFI leadership are also hosting business development meetings with nearly 40 industry leading companies to share Florida’s business story with key industry leaders.

“We’re here to tell the Florida business story to every company we can meet with and to help the companies and organizations that have travelled with us to have a very successful show,” said EFI president & CEO of EFI, Bill Johnson.”
