Bangalore: India’s rapid growth in aerospace industry has attracted global attention. India has been invited as a partner country at the `ILA Berlin Airshow 2008’ scheduled to be held in Berlin, Germany, from May 27 to June 1.
Speaking about India partnering the airshow, Deepika Unni of Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) said here on Thursday that "India will showcase the recent developments and present its aerospace products, services and skills.
Being a partner country, the event will create a platform for the Indian aerospace industry in Europe and provide glimpses of the growth story of the Indian aerospace industry."
