Successful Launch of Aeromart Summit India 2016

Expandys India & BCI Aerospace officially kick-started the launch ceremony of the 2nd edition of Aeromart Summit India 2016 in Bangalore at their curtain raiser event held at the Le Meridian hotel on the 29th of September. The event was very much appreciated for its simple and yet to-the-point format of presentation of this unique concept of B-to-B pre-arranged meetings between buyers and suppliers.

 This international business convention, focused on the supply chain in the aeronautic sector, is supported by the State of Karnataka and Business France, the French Trade and Investment Commission.

 At the curtain raiser, Mr François Gautier, Consul General of France, gave the welcome speech. He was followed by a serie of distinguished speakers, namely Mr B K Shivakumar (Manging Director of Karnataka Udyog Mitra), Mr Arunakar Mishra (Vice-President of SIATI and CEO at Genser), Mr Victor Bharat (Director of Operations and Business Development at ADS), Mr. Quentin Mounier (Show Director of the Aeromart summit), Mr Emmanuel Bisi (Managing Director of Expandys Consulting and representative of the Aeromart team in India), and Mr Judikael Le Doridour, (India Director of the French firm, Recaero).

 More than one hundred people attended this session of presentations given by the organisers ABE-BCI Aerospace and the partners of the event – the state of Karnataka, SIATI, AESI, ADS and Business France. The day closed with a networking cocktail. The event was host to some of the top management cadres from big players in the industry such as Airbus, Safran Engineering, Mahindra Aerospace, Honeywell, etc., alongside Indian government officials and members from the Consulate General of Israel, Japan and France.

 The event proved to be a perfect platform to introduce Aeromart Summit India 2016 set to take place from the 8th to 10th of November at Clarks Exotica hotel, Bangalore. The aim of this initiative was to gather the aerospace community in order to introduce to them the unique concept of this event, to highlight the satisfaction of the 1st edition and to provide guidelines for the upcoming one. In 2014, during the 1st edition, approximately 200 companies and 500 participants took part in this programme, which resulted in 4000 B-to-B meetings. One third of firms present were foreign companies coming from 15 different countries.

 Industrial federations SIATI and AESI are partners of the event for the 2nd time. They have welcomed this novel format and have immensely encouraged their members to connect with procurement teams from international, regional and local aerospace companies in order to take part in this unique event.

 Indeed, Aeromart Summit India 2016 has direct relevance with supply chain as the event brings together professional buyers and suppliers such as prime aerospace contractors, tier suppliers and contract-manufacturers. Engineering, procurement, supply chain, production all converge on this single platform thus opening immense opportunities for all participants.

 Given the nature of the event and a mere 6 weeks’ timeframe for the actual event to take place, the organisers stressed on the importance of registering online at the earliest, so that participants may reap maximum benefit from quality meetings that are customised to their specific requirement.
