AIRTEC and expoAIR events seal cooperation agreement

A cooperation contract has been signed between the two organisers of AIRTEC and expoAIR, Diana Schnabel and Thomas Eisenberg. The agreement includes both the mutual realisation this autumn and a long-term partnership. Both events will take place from 20-22 November 2018 at the MTC Munich.

“The advantages and synergies were obvious,” in this point Thomas Eisenberg, managing director of expoSTAGE and organiser of expoAIR, and Diana Schnabel, organiser of AIRTEC, agree. “Especially offering our exhibitors, speakers and visitors a promising home with immense growth potential was important to us.”

Both partners want to contribute their respective strengths, bundle their excellence and thus become an outstanding industry meeting point. There were several important arguments in favour of Munich as the venue for the future event: leading high-tech location in Germany with numerous corporate headquarters and R&D centres, the state of Bavaria, regarding aviation as strategic topic for the future, the synergetic cooperation of aviation and automotive industry - particularly relevant for the future of innovative mobility, Munich Airport, which ensures perfect accessibility from all over the world and, of course, the incomparable international appeal of the Bavarian state capital.

Also, the exhibitors, represented by Dr Olaf Günnewig, business development manager aerospace at SGS Institut Fresenius and chairman of the AIRTEC exhibitor advisory board at the signing of the contract, take a consistently positive view of the new cooperation: "In my opinion, this cooperation is only a first step in significantly strengthening Germany as an aerospace location. The interaction of the aerospace and automotive industries in shaping the future of mobility will determine the economic future of Germany as a whole. Something can develop here that will secure plenty of jobs for everyone in the long term. The cooperation of expoAIR and AIRTEC offers the ideal breeding ground for this."

The partners want to take advantage of this positive tailwind to synchronise all issues relating to the operational implementation. What is already clear is that there will be a joint ticket for the event. And a motto has already been found: “AIRTEC meets expoAIR”.
