The turning point in security policy also poses new challenges for the aerospace industry in northern Germany. Companies, politicians and society are increasingly discussing how the industry should position itself in the area of conflict between civilian roots, new defence requirements and social responsibility.
The aviation clusters and initiatives of the northern German federal states address this topic at the North German Aviation Forum:
9th North German Aviation Forum:
Challenges and opportunities for the aerospace industry in the security policy turnaround
on Thursday, 19 February 2026
from 14:00
at the Airport Plaza Hotel, Südportal 2, 22848 Norderstedt
The focus is on the questions:
- How are current security policy developments changing the prospects for aerospace companies in northern Germany?
- What role do defence activities play for competitiveness and location development - and how can civilian strengths be secured at the same time?
- What economic opportunities arise from the security policy turnaround, especially for small and medium-sized companies?
REGISTRATION for the 9th North German Aviation Forum is already possible HERE.
