July/August 2012 (Subject to Industry interest)
The Defence Export Unit (DEU) is planning a trade mission to New Delhi and Bangalore, India which will involve visits to major companies and relevant organisations in the aerospace industry. Bangalore is the centre of India's aerospace industry. The Australian defence industry and capabilities are not well known to the Indian market so this trade mission will provide companies with an opportunity to promote their quality niche products and equipment. This mission will also provide companies with preliminary knowledge and contacts for a possible attendance at the Aero India Aerospace trade show in February 2013.
Australian defence companies are now invited to consider attending this trade mission to New Delhi and Bangalore, India.
For further enquiries and expressions of interest, please contact Virginia Francken on (02) 6144 2780 or email virginia.francken@defence.gov.au
