On 1 October, Dr. Stephan Recher represented AeroSpace.NRW at “Setting Up in Germany: Space, Defence, Aerospace and Dual Use” at the Army and Navy Club in London. The seminar was organised by NRW.Global Business in partnership with ADS Group Ltd.
Together with Dr. Lino Schneider-Bertenburg and Bastian Hammer, and in a panel moderated by Hannah Swoboda, Stephan discussed how clusters, networks and funding can turn interest in the German market into concrete industrial cooperation.
For international companies, the route into a new market becomes much clearer when three things come together:
- access to the right industrial and research partners
- guidance through the support and funding landscape
- a trusted network capable of turning introductions into joint project
This is where AeroSpace.NRW contributes: connecting international companies with North Rhine-Westphalia’s aerospace and space ecosystem and creating pathways towards collaboration.
Further perspectives from Michael Kordus, Ruth Bretts and Damon Olloman highlighted the opportunities for UK companies and the practical experience of entering the German market.
Thank you to NRW.Global Business, ADS Group Ltd and everyone involved for bringing British companies and German ecosystem partners together for such an open and focused exchange.
UK companies interested in cooperating with North Rhine-Westphalia’s aerospace and space community are warmly invited to connect with us.
