An advisory-led initiative for the France–India industrial corridor.
FSFI, Fonds Stratégique France-Inde, brings together strategic advisory, governance expertise and a future funding architecture to support French aerospace SMEs across two nations.
A bilateral initiative. A shared mission.
FSFI is a structured bilateral initiative supporting French SMEs as they scale manufacturing, MRO and industrial deeptech into India, while strengthening India's position as a global aerospace hub.
The future FSFI funding architecture is being designed for long industrial cycles: working capital, CAPEX, capacity, talent, digital transformation and decarbonisation. It remains a project under development and is subject to regulatory approvals.

FSFI leadership at the AeroSud Regional Summit.
Engaging with aerospace leaders on the priorities shaping the industry’s next phase of transformation and growth.
Sovereignty, decarbonisation and access to long-term funding are central challenges for aerospace companies building new industrial capabilities. FSFI contributes an advisory perspective to these discussions while developing a future funding architecture that remains subject to regulatory approvals.
FSFI leadership at the Paris Air Forum.
Engaging with the ideas shaping Europe’s next phase of aerospace competitiveness, sovereignty and industrial transformation.
The Paris Air Forum brought together aerospace, defence, institutional and innovation leaders around industrial scale-up, energy transition and strategic autonomy. Discussions on sovereign artificial intelligence, including the Airbus and Mistral AI partnership, are directly relevant to FSFI’s advisory work supporting French aerospace companies as they assess industrial expansion and technology partnerships in India.
FSFI’s participation reflects an advisory and market-development perspective. Any future funding architecture remains under development and subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
