Lower Bavaria | 16th working meeting of Invest in Bavaria with the Bavarian business development agencies

Efficient commercial development in times of scarce properties and regionally available competences were the core topics at Invest in Bavaria’s 16th working meeting with Bavarian economic development agencies. The event was held in Simbach am Inn in the district of Rottal Inn. The two-day meeting kicked off with Dr Ulrike Wolf, Ministerial Director at the Bavarian State Ministry, who informed the participants about the current topics at the StMWi (Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy). Among the examples of efficient commercial development, Managing Director Peter Keller impressively described how a cleantech innovation park is being created on the former Michelin - factory site in Hallstadt near Bamberg, and the mayors of the market towns of Perlesreuth and Röhrnbach demonstrated how completely new paths have been taken with the first inter-municipal commercial area in Prombach in Lower Bavaria.

Bavarian Mobility Success Story: EmQopter

From its home in Würzburg, Bavaria, the start-up EmQopter developed the first approvable unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in Germany for fully autonomous flights beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). The technology opens up two great opportunities. Firstly, EmQopter drones are ideal for industrial use and could even replace cars as tomorrow's mobility solution of choice. And secondly, they can perform key functions for research and development at universities. The latter is particularly important to the company's founders. Without Bavaria's R&D infrastructure, they could never have established their business. The idea for EmQopter was born many years ago when Nils Gageik and Paul Benz wrote their doctorates in the only academic department for Aerial Computer Science in Germany – at the Julius Maximilians University in Würzburg.

Bavarian Robotics Success Story: Franka Emika

The robots built by Franka Emika, a fledgling company from Munich, typify cross-industry innovation. The start-up derived its initial technology from a project at the Institute of Air Transport and Airport Research in Bavaria. The initial research group soon asked themselves whether they could make the technology available to everyone. An idea was born. Franka Emika’s mission is to sell high-tech robots to a wide target group. Extremely easy to program, the robots can be used by everyone – from individuals and one-person companies through to medium-size businesses and large factories, helping in all those fields that entail repetitive, time-consuming and even dangerous tasks.
