MEMKO Shines at Aero India 2025: Showcasing Innovation and Building Global Partnerships

Australia – 14 February 2025

We are thrilled to announce our successful participation in Aero India 2025, where our MEMKO Aviation, Aerospace, and Defence General Manager Ashley Tuck and MEMKO Systems India Manager Shailesh Shantagiri represented us as part of Team Defence Australia in Bengaluru, India.  

As Asia’s largest aerospace and defence exhibition, Aero India attracted over 900 exhibitors from over 90 countries, including industry giants like Dassault Systèmes, Safran and Boeing. With an audience of over 700,000 attendees, this prestigious 5-day event provided MEMKO with an invaluable platform to showcase our innovations, build global partnerships and explore new opportunities in the rapidly growing Indian aerospace market. 

Showcasing MEMKO’s Latest Innovations 

At Aero India, MEMKO highlighted our latest products and solutions, including: 

• MEACAT (Modular Electronic Attack Capsule Air Target): A versatile electronic warfare training solution that can be readily integrated onto Indian Air Force (IAF) platforms, which already operate the JDAM-ER weapon system. 

• NIFTI (Non-Intrusive Flight Test Instrumentation): We engaged with Indian Air Force and Navy flight test organizations, aircraft manufacturers, and UAS developers to demonstrate NIFTI’s unique capabilities to make flight testing faster, more cost effective and more flexible. 

• Certified 3D Printed Aircraft Interior Parts: Offering a rapid, cost-effective solution to meet the demand for hard-to-obtain or low-volume bespoke parts in both civil and defence sectors. 

• Aviation Engineering Services: With our team in Bangalore, MEMKO is ideally positioned to deliver fleet technical management and continuing airworthiness management services to Indian customers. 

Why India? Exploring a Key Market 

India’s aerospace and defence market presents a remarkable opportunity for MEMKO. With a growing demand for defence aircraft development, commercial aircraft components, and sub-systems manufacturing, India is becoming a critical player on the global stage. Our existing business presence in Bangalore positions MEMKO well to deliver services in India and establish local partnerships in the aerospace and defence sectors. 

A Platform for Connection and Growth 

MEMKO’s Aviation, Aerospace, and Defence Manager, Ashley Tuck, reflected on the event, stating: 

“Aero India 2025 was an invaluable experience—not only to showcase our technology and services but to connect with key stakeholders in the Indian market. The enthusiasm and potential for collaboration were truly inspiring. A big thank you to Team Defence Australia and Austrade for their support and introductions to many potential customers.” 

In addition to engaging with industry leaders, the trip provided a wonderful opportunity to connect in person with our MEMKO team in Bangalore.
