Bangalore-based startups Neewee and EFLIGHT have signed contracts with global aircraft company Airbus and its subsidiary NAVBLUE to bring to life their innovative ideas in aerospace that are in line with the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Startup India’ initiatives.

The two startups were part of five startups chosen a year back from the second season of the Airbus Bizlab technology acceleration programme that attracted 137 applications from nine countries.

Neewee’s solution, called procuSense, will enhance certainty to manufacturing supply chain and procurement operations at Airbus, using advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

EFLIGHT’s trip support solution will offer a suite of services that allows business jet pilots to optimise plans for fuel, time, route and weather. The startup has also signed an exclusive partnership with an Airbus subsidiary to jointly address some opportunities in India.

The roadmap for the future includes implementing Neewee’s analytics solution in other Airbus functions globally.”
