Fundación Hélice also supports and provides valuable information to foreign companies interested in investing in Andalusia, out of the business expectations arround the A400M FAL, and also the good business environment created by the Administrations to set up a World Class  Aerospace Cluster in Andalusia. The Foundation has always bridged between the companies and the Administrations, including the Universities.
