Saxony wants to place itself among the leading regions for space technology, with Economics Minister Dirk Panter saying the state aims to be at the forefront of the sector. The message comes as Saxony presents its aerospace and space industry at the International Air and Space Exhibition in Berlin.
The regional showcase brings together 18 companies and institutes from Saxony, which are being presented as a high-tech cluster under the banner SACHSEN! auf der ILA 2026. The exhibition runs from 10 to 12 June, making the announcement a pre-show push to promote the state’s capabilities to industry visitors and potential partners.
Beyond visibility, Saxony is using the event to frame its space ambitions around microelectronics, research strength and innovation capacity. The initiative is aimed at strengthening the state’s role in Germany’s aerospace and space technology supply chain, although the available material does not indicate any new contracts, investments or product launches.
