Key Technologies and Industrial Strength from Saxony for the European Aerospace Industry
Saxony is a high-tech hub with a strong industrial tradition and excellent technological expertise. The Free State’s unique selling point across Europe lies in its one-of-a-kind technological and industrial integration of microelectronics, data transmission technologies, software, lightweight construction, mobility applications, and manufacturing expertise for mass production. These strengths open up strong value chains for Saxony’s companies and research institutions, including in the aerospace industry.
Network Partners
Founded in 2001, the Aerospace Technology Competence Centre Saxony / Thuringia e. V. (LRT) aims to significantly advance the development of the aerospace industry in the region and to stabilize and strengthen expertise in this area. The industry association works together with German and international networks - including the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI) - and is a member of the international "European Aerospace Cluster Partnership" (EACP). The network offers its more than 40 members numerous opportunities for representation and exchange of experience, such as company visits, technology meetings, workshops, exhibitions and networking events.
The Saxon Satellite Mission SAXON-1
Stakeholders in Saxony’s aerospace industry are working on their own satellite mission. “SAXON-1” is intended to pave the way into space for local companies and research institutions.
The mission offers Saxon companies the opportunity to demonstrate and further develop innovative technologies under real-world conditions in orbit. Saxony can leverage its particular strengths as a hub for high-tech and innovation and showcase the broad range of its expertise in space technology, communications, sensor technology, and software. It is simply not enough to be able to present individual technologies or to possess the technical know-how. With the help of the satellite, Saxony aims to demonstrate that it is also capable of integrating these technologies.
