Airbus Teams Up Two Indian Startups Accelerated Under Airbus BizLab
In an attempt to support the government’s Make In India and Startup India initiatives, France-headquartered aeronautical products maker Airbus has signed contracts with two Indian startups: Neewee and EFLIGHT. Both of these startups were accelerated under Airbus BizLab in January 2017.
The startups were selected in the second cohort of the accelerator programme, out of 137 applications from nine countries. According to reports, the Neewee and EFLIGHT have signed their first contracts with Airbus and its subsidiary NAVBLUE.
Commenting on the association, Bruno Gutierres, head of Airbus BizLab, said, “We are delighted to announce the recent contracts signed by Neewee and EFLIGHT. These partnerships stand as an example of our commitment towards engaging with the entrepreneurial community and creating business opportunities for them, especially with Airbus.”
With this, the solutions developed by both startups will now be integrated with Airbus and NAVBLUE. ProcuSense, created by Neewee, uses advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence to ascertain manufacturing supply chain and procurement operations at Airbus.
On the other hand, EFLIGHT created a trip support solution to offer a comprehensive suite of services that allows business jet pilots to optimise plans for fuel, time, route and weather. EFLIGHT also signed an exclusive partnership with an Airbus subsidiary to jointly address some opportunities in India.
