Space display event - Industry's Innovations Lauded at ILA Debut in Berlin by Scholz
At the recent aerospace fair, the president of the German Aerospace Industries Association, Michael Schöllhorn, addressed the geopolitical challenges of our time, stating that the industry responds with innovative developments. Civil aviation showcases advancements in sustainability, giving it a competitive edge. Military aviation demonstrates future systems. Space travel showcases how Europe can maintain independent access to space usage.
Europe's technological dominance in these areas is being challenged, said Schöllhorn. The industry is facing pressure and needs a suitable political environment to thrive. Predictability in the defense budget and orders are vital to keep small and medium-sized companies and suppliers from leaving the industry, as their capabilities and expertise will be crucial moving forward.
During the European aerospace industry's performance, around 600 exhibitors from 30 countries will be displayed from Wednesday to Sunday. Initially, the fair is only open to the professional public, while on the weekend, anyone can visit the exhibition grounds. Civil aviation's sustainable transformation and defense and security issues are the primary focuses of this event.
