Bengaluru: Boeing India Engineering & Technology Centre (BIETC) leaders and employees inaugurated Building 2 (B2) of the BIETC campus in Devanahalli, Bengaluru on August 22.
The B2 section of the campus will feature advanced Boeing Research & Technology and Boeing Test and Evaluation laboratories, collaborative workspaces, a medical centre, and a creche facility, among others.
In January 2024, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated this state-of-the-art 43-acre campus. Built with an investment of Rs 1,600 crore, this is Boeing’s largest such investment outside the US. It includes two buildings, B1, and B2, and accommodates Boeing India’s engineering and technology workforce. Through this campus, Boeing aims to enhance engineering and technology capabilities to support advanced aerospace and defense work in India and around the world.
Boeing has had an engineering presence in the country since 2009, and BIETC was formally established in 2016. BIETC in India is leveraging a talented pool of over 5,500 engineers and innovators across Bengaluru and Chennai to drive growth and innovation in aerospace.
The centre currently houses Boeing’s engineering, test, research and technology, information technology and digital analytics teams. These technologists undertake high-quality, advanced aerospace work and offer engineering expertise to Boeing’s defence, space, and commercial businesses, spanning engineering design of structures and systems, manufacturing support, developing systems to test our aircraft, and providing digital solutions to our airline customers. Cutting-edge R&D in traditional and emerging areas is performed at the centre, including next-generation airplane health management, environment-friendly coatings, advanced networks and secure communications where teams leverage new-age technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet-of-Things, Cloud, Model-Based Engineering, and Additive Manufacturing to enhance quality, safety, and productivity.
