Bengaluru: Global aerospace major Boeing on Friday expanded its engineering and technology centre in this tech hub and said it would hire 1,500 more engineers to drive digital innovation.

The IT talent and capabilities in the country will be an enabler for our success the world over," said Boeing's Chief Information Officer Ted Colbert on the occasion.
"Over 25 collaboration areas in the centre will enable teams to develop, scale and deliver aerospace innovations with agility. The facility will also drive strategic initiatives like Digital Transformation," noted the statement.
