Image building is vital in order to recruit specialists to the region while maintaining and strengthening Lake Constance’s position as a business location. As a result of this, the cluster itself is perceived throughout the German-speaking world as an established institution in the industry.
“BodenseeAIRea was initiated by us as a cluster for the aerospace industry and is now celebrating its tenth anniversary. The last decade has shown how important it is to exchange information, opinions and expertise by interconnecting and cooperating with other players – with firms upstream or downstream in the industry’s supply chain as well as with universities, research institutes, the Lake Constance / Upper Swabia Chamber of Industry and Commerce and other partners in the aerospace sector.
Only by working together can we succeed in developing the new strategies and business segments that are essential to stay competitive. As the Lake Constance district’s economic development agency and cluster manager, we’re looking forward to providing a platform for this dialog to continue into the future and to marketing it as a unique selling point for the region.”
