Airbus typically commits to significant technology transfer in its international partnerships, focusing on integrating local suppliers and building manufacturing and maintenance capabilities to foster local aerospace industry growth. For example, Airbus’ involvement in India with the EADS CASA C-295 program includes up to 90% technology transfer, with local suppliers and personnel trained extensively.
In Brazil, Airbus has a significant presence, notably through its partnership in the commercial and defense aerospace sectors. The company's global strategy consistently involves developing local talent and building indigenous aerospace capabilities by collaborating with local industries, training personnel, and transferring manufacturing skills.
