About Bremen
Competence in space technology: The ISS International Space Station: the European contribution to the project, the ‘Columbus’ space laboratory, was designed and developed here at the River Weser. As was the ATV transporter for supplying the astronauts with their needs. This is where the upper stages of the Ariane rocket as well as the Galileo satellites are also built, and where robotics systems for in-orbit applications are designed. Bremen’s competence in space technology also includes research under microgravity conditions, like in outer space, as well as exploration and robotics, the development of satellites and on-orbit systems and space transportation vehicles.
Competence in aviation: Bremen is home to the ‘High-Lift Centre Germany’ established here by Airbus and therefore a center of know-how in fields ranging from structural and systems design, flight physics and test facilities to landing flap production and wing equipping. No Airbus can fly without Bremen’s involvement! Other key areas of activity in Bremen’s aviation industry include materials research and development as well as the development and procurement of the cargo loading systems for the entire Airbus fleet. Highlight: at BreTeCe (Bremen Technology Center), complex engineering systems can be tested Europe-wide on a real-time basis.
Science and research: Bremen is a center for science and research, where aspects of materials science are a key area of interest at many renowned research institutes and facilities. Attention is focused on the entire production chain, from forming to surface finishing for metals, ceramics and plastics. Another interdisciplinary field of activity in Bremen concerns space research and the uses of technology. The range extends from research under microgravity conditions, to satellite-based applications, robotics and exploration.
Why Bremen?
Their motto is “The Sky is Not the Limit!” Sound familiar? Bremen and Huntsville have many things in common, most notably the presence of high-tech aerospace expertise. With more than 140 aerospace companies and 20 research institutes, Bremen builds aircrafts and satellites and is as familiar with Airbus wings as it is with Ariane’s rocket propulsion or OHB’s satellite systems. More than 60,000 people in northern Germany, many of them university graduates, are currently employed by the aerospace industry. The region has become a center for the civil aviation industry, with Airbus and Premium Aerotec production plants. This entails a high level of technology transfer between the research community and industry throughout the north of Germany, which is integrated through the aerospace industry into a global value chain.
