200 companies and above 80 delegations to attend Paris Air Show

Paris: Over 200 companies and more than 80 national delegations are attending this year's Paris Air Show , and that should mean a lot of conversation. Not quite, if what you have in mind is open discussions about products, strategies or likely collaborations. Most companies prefer to keep to themselves and many of the majors have even booked all their staff participants into one hotel, to lend an additional support for privacy and security.
Being an Indian in Paris this week, though, is a distinct advantage, as is being a Chinese. Every global player wants to know what these two countries are up to in the near term, and the interest has not ebbed despite the Indian government having already short-listed Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafel as the final contestants for the nearly $ 10-billion medium multi-role combat aircraft deal.
