Voices from the cluster
“As a university of applied sciences, we’re in direct contact with industry, and we endeavor to build bridges between theory and practice. We want to add value for the region through our research by helping to safeguard the future of local industry. Against that background, we see BodenseeAIRea as a key platform for the all-important dialog with business organizations.”
“As a newly established, technology based company in the aviation business, networking and the opportunity to enter into a dialog with other aerospace players are very important to us! The BodenseeAIRea cluster’s events and offerings are a perfect platform for getting acquainted with representatives of the region’s highly diverse aviation industry.”
“As a regional engineering consultant for software development, I especially value the interregional Bodensee Aerospace Meetings, which let me take a look at the big picture and give me insights into what’s going on in the aerospace industry.”
"As a university of cooperative education, we collaborate closely with companies in the aerospace industry, and BodenseeAIRea is an excellent way for us to maintain and strengthen that network. We see our contribution to a strong regional economy not only as providing academic training to young aerospace engineers but also as engaging in research. And BodenseeAIRea is a good platform for that too.”
“BodenseeAIRea was one of our staunchest supporters when we first started up in business. Being a member also raises awareness of the active role we play both within the region and beyond.”
“AIRstudent and the accompanying program are something you won’t find anywhere else. They’re a great platform for us and the other firms taking part to convince students from all over Germany of the merits of the aviation industry and the Lake Constance area. At the same time, AIRstudent is a chance for us at Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg to showcase the high technologies we manufacture and put the students in direct contact with our employees and products. We’re aiming to get young people excited about aeronautical engineering at Liebherr and introduce them to the development and career prospects that await them here.”
“I really enjoy the Cluster Meetings because the introductions to other companies give me insights into the way those firms work, and the get-togethers are an excellent opportunity to meet people personally. Those one-on-one encounters create trust, and trust is the basis for all future changes and developments.”
“The Cluster Meetings which the cluster management organize, and have organized in the past, are a source of information on all kinds of aviation topics. They’re a good way to broaden your own horizons and take a look at the big picture. You regularly get to talk to some fascinating people. The number of visitors to the Cluster Meetings shows just how popular the events are with members and other interested parties.”
“What we particularly appreciate about the BodenseeAIRea cluster is the chance to take part in international trade shows like the ILA, which would be out of our reach if we had to exhibit there ourselves. BodenseeAIRea is also very helpful when it comes to making contacts both in and outside of our industry.”
“It was a very positive factor for us that we were able to discuss identical or similar aviation problems in a closed group like this and share in a lively exchange of experiences.”
