Giuseppe Orsi, CEO, AgustaWestland said "We are delighted to have signed this latest agreement which represents the initial step to meet the long term plans defined for AgustaWestland Portugal. The RDE project is clear evidence of AgustaWestland's commitment to bringing specific experience and knowledge into local industries and universities. We are committed to increasingly getting closer to our customers as well as to enabling local companies to play major roles as AgustaWestland Portugal’s subcontractors to exploit future business opportunities of mutual benefit”.

CEIIA, as the leader of the “Pólo de Competitividade e Tecnologia” for the Aeronautical cluster, will allow the creation and rapidly foster the expansion and alignment of the Portuguese supply base to international markets and standards, thereby widening the potential customer base for the Portuguese players within the Aeronautical worldwide market.
