Munich Satellite Navigation Summit 2010

Satellite navigation is the world of tomorrow. For companies, the scope ranges from satellite modules and Galileo receiver chips to the software for motor vehicle navigation. But big opportunities also mean big efforts when facing competition on a day-to-day basis. Companies need to optimally develop, manufacture, market and sell their products, so it is essential for them to know precisely in what direction the industry in heading.

The annual Munich Satellite Navigation Summit is a must for every decision-maker in the field of satellite navigation. How is Galileo proceeding? How are other navigation projects shaping up? What new applications are emerging? What is the position with data protection and copyrights? Questions like these will be discussed at the Summit and their answers will interest big project managers as much as small user companies.

Another factor that is equally important is the right industry environment. Invest in Bavaria is looking forward to showing investors and decision-makers worldwide the advantages available in Bavaria as the top location for satellite navigation. The State of Bavaria offers an innovative research environment, a highly qualified labour force, reliable component suppliers and a broad customer base of application-oriented technology companies along with a pro-innovation business policy offering comprehensive funding programmes. What is more, the business-friendly picture is rounded off by bavAIRia e.V., the experienced, professional team of the Bavarian Cluster for Satellite Navigation. Research institutes like the DLR with the Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, the Fraunhofer Institute and high-profile universities are major partners at the beginning of the added-value chain. At the other end, there is the Applications Center and the ESA Business Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, offering companies vigorous assistance with the implementation of their ideas for new applications.

Invest in Bavaria, the Business Promotion Agency of the State of Bavaria in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, is the right contact address for all interested investors. We will, for example, help you in your search for a suitable site and arrange contacts for you with important networks in the industry. Come and visit us on Stand 15 in the Residence!
