Bremen: Space industry is booming – future secured as a City of Space!
What is actually happening in Bremen, the heart of German space travel? On November 8, 2025, the city will be the scene of significant events in the aerospace industry. Important events such as the Space Tech Expo and the ESA Ministerial Council Conference are coming up, and Siegfried Monser plays a central role as Bremen's space coordinator. He sees his main task as the interface between industry, science and politics in order to further promote Bremen as a leading space location. Buten Un Binnen reports that Bremen has a lot of know-how in satellite construction and research and can therefore continue to position itself as an attractive location for investments in the future.
The Bremen space industry is no longer a small plant. Around 140 companies and 20 institutes are active here, offering around 12,000 jobs and generating an annual turnover of more than four billion euros. Particularly noteworthy are well-known names such as Airbus, Ariane and OHB, but numerous start-ups have also established themselves in this environment. Some of these young companies focus on Earth observation, showing that innovation is important.
The future of space travel in Bremen
Bremen attaches great importance to aerospace as a key industry. Monser is optimistic that public contracts tendered in the space industry will also benefit Bremen companies. A great wish of the Bremen Senate is to establish Bremen as the location of a satellite operations center. This would not only create new jobs, but also strengthen the region's innovative strength.
In addition, the future of Ariane, some of which will be manufactured in Bremen, will be decided at the ESA Ministerial Council Conference. Monser emphasizes the importance of these decisions, particularly in light of plans for investments in defense-oriented space, where small satellites are the focus.
The personalization boom: A look at social networks
There is a great synergy in space travel, where the handling of sensitive data and communication between different actors is just as important as in social media. Sharing information and dashing between different areas can help find new solutions and advance collaborations.
Entrepreneurial wisdom
What can we learn from the field of marketing? Business leaders like Don Cook, who has achieved over $1.5 billion in successful career exits, reinforce the importance of strategic oversight and innovation in a rapidly changing marketplace. His experiences as a board member show how crucial an effective and ethical marketing strategy is to the current and future success of a company. Logically points out that such leadership styles promote sustainable growth and create resilience to global challenges.
Overall, it shows that Bremen is on a promising path to further establishing itself as a “City of Space”. With bright minds, strong partners and the corresponding commitment to research and development, there is a good chance that Bremen will remain a central player in space travel in the future.
