Welcome to THE Aerospace LÄND:
The center for aerospace in Germany
Baden-Württemberg is your starting point for the future of aerospace technology
Avionics, drones and launch vehicles are just a selection of focal areas of the aerospace industry in Baden-Württemberg. THE LÄND is one of the top locations internationally for the industry, with roughly 40% of all German employees from this sector working in Baden-Württemberg. Global corporations like Airbus and Thales are represented, as are small and medium-sized enterprises. They form a close network of high-performing manufacturers and suppliers, complemented by first-in-class equipment providers and excellent universities and research institutions.
The aim of the innovative campaign promoted by the State of Baden-Württemberg, THE Aerospace LÄND, is to further consolidate the region’s strengths and prepare the aerospace industry for the challenges of the future.

Why Baden-Württemberg is ideal for your expansion plans:
The aerospace industry is facing a period of fundamental upheaval, with digitalization and decarbonization shaping the sector. New materials are improving the ecological impact, controls and navigation are getting smarter, and autonomous flight is already more than a mere vision. We want to be at the very forefront of these developments.
To do this, Baden-Württemberg is investing more than 40 million euros as part of its own aerospace strategy. The money will be invested in expanding test environments and infrastructure, in collaborations and training skilled staff.
The advantage: THE LÄND will work together with you to progress the transformation of the aerospace industry.
Our firms are working on the aerospace of the future. Consequently, anyone who orders components, systems and drives from Baden-Württemberg must be guaranteed to receive state-of-the-art technology that is as green and sustainable as possible.
For example, the Stuttgart-based start-up H2Fly is developing an aircraft with a zero-emission hydrogen-electric powertrain system. At its Lampoldshausen location, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is testing how to fuel propulsion systems using green hydrogen. Our companies are providing the financial backing to progress their innovations. They are investing 17.5 per cent of their revenue in research and development, putting them at the top of the table compared with other industries.
The advantage: The innovative environment will also have a positive impact on your company.
In addition to high-profile aerospace companies, the State of Baden-Württemberg boasts a renowned research environment in key areas such as satellite technology, aircraft construction and space exploration. The same is true of its academic institutions. The University of Stuttgart has Germany’s largest faculty for aerospace. Students can choose from lots of different specializations. This is a benefit for all companies looking for well-trained graduates.
The advantage: Excellent research and development forms the backbone of your company’s success.
