  2. Description of Domain: Andalusian Aerospace Sector (1) 700M€ AIRBUS 100M€ OTHERS • LastyearAndalusiacelebratedthecentenary of thefirstflight. • Traditionallyproducingaerostructures and final assembly line of conmuteraircraftsLead company: CASA (Headquarters in Madrid). • In 2000 CASA wasintegrated in EADS. CASA products has beenmaintained. • In 2005 EADS locates final assembly line of A-400M in Seville. AndalusianAerospace 2005 figures: • Turnover 800M€ • Workforce  5.500 • Setting up of Helice, AndalusianAeronauticCluster, as foundationwiththe Regional Goverment, Companies, Social Institutions and Academia as partnerships.

  3. Description of Domain: Andalusian Aerospace Sector (2) • 2008: Plan Andaluz Desarrollo Industrial declares as “strategic” theaeronautic sector. Andalusian Industrial Strategybased in strategicclustersdevelopment, and design and introduction of technicalinsfrastructures • FADA starts activities with the colaboration of Helice Foundation. Identifiedscientificand technologicalneedsfordevelopment of andalusianaerospace sector. • KEY PLAYERS in ANDALISIAN AEROSPACE SECTOR: • Regional Government Economics, Science and InnovationDepartment • IDEA Agency InfrastructuresTechnologicalParksR+D Fundingprograms. • HeliceFoundation: AndalusianAerospaceCluster.

  4. Description of Domain: Andalusian Aerospace Sector (overview) REST OF ACTIVITIES R + T RETA (ANDALUCIA)

  5. Cluster Helice : Challenges • Increasing Operative Volume, financial position and engineering capabilities:Management of the companies growth regarding its necessities of human, technological and financial resources. • Increasing added value and competitiveness:Turning towards higher value products: avionics, on board systems, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Space Applications. • Invest in research, development and innovation: As one of the main tools to assure competitiveness. • Internationalisation: Increase presence in classical European and North American markets as well as in “emerging and low costs regions” (BRIC countries). • New market niches: Aircraft Maintenance and retrofit, General Aviation and Business Aviation.

  6. Cluster Helice : Competitive Advantages • Long Aeronautic Tradition: Dates back to 1910, when First manned flight tooke place in Seville. Andalusia counts on many institutions related and supporting Aerospace. • A synchronised network of subcontractors : Covering all aerostructures and final assembly technologies, allowing primes to cooperate and transfer their expertise, thus increasing cluster competitiveness. A supply chain electronic platform to streamline and synchronise business transactions. • Linked to international main programs: Companies take part in more or less intensity on almost all new big aircraft projects: Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, Eurocopter. • Excellent Industrial and innovation Infrastructure: Dedicated Technological Parks in Seville and Cadiz, Net of Technological Centers, big scientific installations: flight test centers in Villacarrillo (Jaen) and El Arenosillo (Huelva) • Excellent Education infrastructure: Andalucia Tech (international excellence Campus); Aerospace engineering degree in two Universities; very good infrastructure of institutions in professional specialised education, linked with training programs suported by companies.

  7. Cluster Helice: Short and mid-term actions Regional Authorities and social stakeholders (Unions and entrepreneurial associations ) jointly analysed and agreed a sector’s Strategic Programme prepared by the cluster Heliceand covering 2010-2013: PROGRAMA DE ACCION AEROESPACIAL 2010-2013. • Program’s high level Objective: “To convert the Andalusian Aerospace Industry into a competitive knowledge based sector, and one of the main engines of the regional development”. • Program’s operative Objective: “To be regarded as a worldwide reference point in aerial systems (aircrafts) onspecial missions and military transport” • The program’s structure stems from the general Andalusian Plan for Industrial Development (PADI), and defines 22 concrete actions with its budget and targets.

  8. Cluster Helice: Mid and long-term ambitions and strategic actions Andaluciaas wellknowninternationalpole leader in aeronautics and space. EducationSystemfullyadaptedtoAerospace sector needs. Excellent industrial infrastructure, withprivilegesforUniversities, spin offs and technologicalbasedcompanies Intense Public-privatecollaborationgetshighlevels of Research, Development and Innovationinvestments. Highlevels of productivityguaranteesexcellence of sector. Wellstructuredsupplychainallowsdevelopment of higherleveladdedvalueactivities.

  9. Cluster Helice : contribution of the case • The role of the cluster institution as the “lighting rod”, where cluster problems, dilemmas and ideas are discussed: Feasibility studies for mergers, impact analysis of Primes strategies, marketing and communication plans, internationalisation activities, being the SMEs voice for the Administration. • The role of the cluster institution to build complicity between companies, institutions and authorities to articulate the means to strengthen the cluster by their joint implication on strategic projects.
