Alain Desgagné

The past three years have given Alain a deep appreciation for the competitive edge additive technologies create for individual companies -- and its power to redefine entire industries and economies. Alain has focused his commerce degree on business strategy as he tends to quickly assess variables and identify competitive advantages and ways an organization can differentiate itself in the marketplace. This interest in business strategy dovetails nicely with the versatility offered by additive manufacturing as no other technology offers businesses the same creative latitude in bringing new products to market quickly and cost effectively. Alain is keen to see the widely recognized need for economic diversification in Alberta to move forward and believes Albertans can -- and should -- lead the country as a hub for innovation in manufacturing. Alain believe the AAMN has a critical role in that future, and is honored to be elected to the Advisory Group.
