Noida – The ACMA Mobility Foundation, in collaboration with Spark Minda Group, organised the Spark Connect Tech Show, a focused buyer–seller engagement aimed at improving visibility and capability development for Tier-2 and Tier-3 supplier partners within the automotive supply chain.
The initiative brought together 25 supplier partners and marked a step forward in ACMA’s approach to technology engagement, moving from OEM-led showcases to Tier-1-hosted platforms that enable closer, more practical interaction between suppliers and buyer teams. The format allowed supplier partners to present their solutions and engage directly with Tier-1 and OEM-facing functions.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Vinnie Mehta, Director General, ACMA, said “While ACMA organises several large exhibitions and international events, targeted technology shows such as these play a distinct role in supporting individual companies. They enable direct engagement between OEMs, Tier-1s and supplier partners, and provide valuable, specific feedback from engineering, R&D and procurement teams. This kind of engagement is critical as we work to strengthen Tier-2 capabilities and build a more competitive automotive ecosystem.”
Mr. Aakash Minda, Executive Director, Spark Minda Group and Chairperson, Supply Chain & Raw Materials Pillar, ACMA, said, “Through our collaboration with the ACMA Mobility Foundation on initiatives such as the Spark Connect Tech Show, we are working to improve visibility and access for Tier-2 and Tier-3 supplier partners across Tier-1s and OEMs. These buyer-seller engagements provide an opportunity for suppliers to showcase their capabilities and explore potential collaboration and business opportunities within the automotive value chain.”
The Spark Connect Tech Show is part of the ACMA Mobility Foundation’s ongoing initiatives to deepen supply-chain integration and support the development of a globally competitive automotive components ecosystem.
