A global strategic bet
The aerospace sector in Andalusia is considered
as 'strategic' by the Regional Government, according
to the importance of its business figures,
employment and the industrial fabric of high technology
that generates in our community.
Therefore, the Regional Ministry of Economy, Innovation,
Science and Employment has always
given a strong support for its major projects such
as the A400M FAL of Airbus Defence & Space; it
also supports the creation of infrastructure, led
by Tecnobahía and Aerópolis as Technology Parks
and the development of a fabric of innovation and
knowledge that nowadays is a reference in Spain,
all of which makes us the third aerospace pole of
Europe.
According to this relevance, the Trade Promotion
Agency of Andalusia –EXTENDA- has supported
the internationalization of the sector from the beginning.
And we do it in coordination with HÉLICE
Cluster, with the shared goal of increasing the
number of foreign business of our companies.
This is a sector with a consolidated turnover
abroad of over 80%, with exports in 2014 nearly
triple that of a decade earlier (+ 176%) to reach
€1,286 million, one of every three euros that Spain
sold in the world. It is a sector which demonstrates
its competitiveness, incorporating increasingly
exporting companies, until reach 59 in 2014 (11%
more), and regular exporting, which are already 23
(21% more).
Extenda and the sector develop its policy of internationalization
by a dual strategy. First, bringing to
the Andalusian companies where the business is,
through their attendance at the main international
events (Le Bourget, Farnborough, ILA, etc.), and
through the organization of direct trade missions
and supporting individual projects of each company
in the target markets.
The second way is to make a strategic enclave of
Andalusia in the global aerospace business circuit,
through a program of reverse trade missions of
strategic players to meet our companies on site;
organization of business meetings in which the
Andalusian companies of the cluster host the leading
manufacturers and global players business.
'The Global Meeting of the A400M Suppliers';
'Space, an Asset of Mankind' and the 'Aerospace
& Defense Meetings Sevilla' (ADM, in 2012 and
2014) show the path traveled and a commitment
to the internationalization of the sector, which next
year will be renewed with the celebration of ADM
Sevilla 2016, the third edition of the biggest business
event of the aerospace sector in Spain, in
which the Andalusian aerospace cluster will be the
protagonist at the world of international aviation
business.
