One of the biggies in the aerospace industry, Spain, is looking at setting up a base in the IT city. It is eyeing the upcoming aerospace park next to Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) at Devanahalli.
 The state-of-the-art 985-acre facility is being developed by the state industries and commerce department. It also has a 252-acre Special Economic Zone in its premises.
 The aerospace park has already got investors and project proposals from HAL, Jupiter Aviation, Dynamic Technologies, Centum Electronics, AMADA, BEML, Wipro, Tyco and Aero Electronics Private Limited.
