Expanding collaboration between science and industry

Boeing new member of the TUM Industry Engagement Program

The IEP creates an attractive offer for national and international companies seeking access to strategic cooperation with TUM and wishing to raise their partnership with TUM to a new level of quality.

TUM Vice President for Research and Innovation, Prof. Gerhard Kramer, says: "We are in the process of establishing Europe's largest department for aerospace and geodesy. As a globally successful player, Boeing is a perfect fit. Together, we will work to advance the development and use of space and the future of air transportation. I am very much looking forward to the intensified cooperation."

The President of Boeing Germany, Central & Eastern Europe, Dr. Michael Haidinger, says: "TUM has been a strategic partner of Boeing for many years, including in projects of the aeronautics research program LuFo. I am therefore very pleased about our intensified partnership. As part of the Industry Engagement Program, we will establish a so-called Smart Drilling Cell at TUM in addition to existing projects in the field of lightweight construction and robotics. In the future, TUM scientists and Boeing employees will jointly research this promising area for industrial manufacturing companies."
