On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially opened Boeing’s huge global engineering and technology campus in Bengaluru. This advanced facility, known as the Boeing India Engineering & Technology Center (BIETC), was created with an investment of Rs 1,600 crore and covers 43 acres of land.

“Boeing’s Bengaluru Campus: Connecting Dreams, Tech, and Global Impact”:

Boeing’s campus in Bengaluru is the largest investment they’ve made outside the US. It’s not just a big building; it’s going to be a crucial hub for working together with India on creating new and improved stuff for the global aerospace and defense industry. According to Modi, Bengaluru is a city that connects big dreams with smart ideas and actual accomplishments, linking India’s tech skills with what the world needs. He thinks Boeing’s new tech campus is going to make this connection even stronger.

In simpler terms, this facility is not just good for India; it’s going to make a big impact on the global aviation scene. Modi believes it shows that India is serious about being a key player in technology, research, innovation, design, and meeting global demands.

“This really boosts the idea of ‘Make in India-Make for the World’,” he said. “This new campus shows that the world has confidence in India’s talented people,” he added. He believes that one day, India will be designing futuristic aircraft right here. Boeing India has been growing its team over the years, and now it has the most employees in any country outside the US, with over 6,000 as of December 2023.

“We are thankful to support Prime Minister Modi’s big vision for India, and we appreciate him dedicating the Boeing campus to promote innovation in aerospace in the country,” said David L. Calhoun, Boeing’s president and chief executive officer.

Modi also introduced the Boeing Sukanya Program, which aims to encourage more girls from all over India to join the growing aviation sector. This program will offer opportunities for girls and women to learn important skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in the aviation industry. For young girls, the program plans to set up labs at 150 locations to ignite interest in STEM careers. Additionally, it will provide scholarships to women training to become pilots.
