H55, an electric aviation company based in Sion, Valais, has revealed plans for an investment from the Government of Quebec. This funding would boost the company’s growth in Canada, focusing on producing modular electric drives and battery systems for aircraft. With the investment from Investissement Québec, H55 aims to expand its production, engineering, and research activities in Canada.
