On April 11, the “Munich Aerospace Summit” took place for the first time at the LBC under the title “Mastering Challenges of Transformation in Aerospace”. High-ranking guests and speakers from science such as Prof. Wolfgang Herrmann, President of TU Munich or Prof. Mirko Hornung, Executive Director Research and Technology of Bauhaus Luftfahrt, and industry such as Dirk Hoke, CEO Airbus Defence and Space or Torsten Pilz, VP Operations and Supply Chain of US company SpaceX, turned the event into a real highlight for the interested professional audience. In the evening, the approximately 80 participants were invited for a dinner during which Dirk Hoke and Torsten Pilz reported on the (digital) transformation in their respective companies. The awarding of the “Munich Aerospace Award” to Dr. Rainer Matthias Rieck sponsored by maexpartners crowned the event.
