Partnership is key to Boeing’s success around the world. When it evaluates regions of competitiveness for the company around the world, it looks at capability, productivity, and market access advantages.

In India it sees a true path towards a mutual partnership for success. Make- In-India initiative is core to its business  strategy.

To build the best products, one needs the best people. As an aerospace leader, Boeing understands the need to play an inspiring role to promote aerospace innovation and build the next generation of engineering talent and frontline workforce across the globe. India offers that opportunity, both in terms of business growth and talent. It is continually exploring new opportunities to collaborate with Indian aerospace companies in manufacturing, skill building and engineering to build a strong indigenous aerospace ecosystem that will meet the needs of the Indian and global aerospace market.

Boeing India views innovation as the intersection between markets and technology that enables customers to be more competitive. Innovation and productivity are the main drivers of competitiveness. Innovation has to be focused on helping customers do “more for less”…and help them do the same for their customers. Some of the outcomes it sees emerging out of innovation are in advanced manufacturing, AR and VR, autonomous systems, AI and machine learning, materials, robotics and IoT.
