AIDAT was formed in early 2016 to promote and develop the Aerospace and Defence industry ecosystem in Tamil Nadu. This is led by a group of industry veterans who have many years of experience in the Aerospace and Defence Industry in India and abroad.
The focus of the association is to engage with multiple stakeholders in the community across the world to bring business opportunities for the current and future A & D industries in Tamil Nadu. The objective is to make Tamil Nadu as a premier destination for domestic and global manufacturers of A & D products.
Tamil Nadu is already a hub for automotive design and manufacturing, “Detroit of South Asia”, with many OEMs setting up manufacturing units near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. AIDAT engages with automotive industry veterans who want to enter the growing A & D industry and become leaders. AIDAT works to create an end-to-end ecosystem for Aerospace and Defence sector development, covering design, engineering and manufacturing for the civil and defence sector.
