This secures future competencies high-quality jobs and the technological sovereignty of the maritime location Germany.
Background:
With the project Intelligent Bonding - Intelligent Adhesive Connections for Glazing in Shipbuilding six partners will launch a new research project on November 1 2025 under the coordination of ABEKING & RASMUSSEN Ship and Yacht Yard SE. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is funding the project as part of the Maritime Research Program with 2.62 million euros. The goal of the project is to develop sensor-based adhesive connections to increase the safety of large-area ship glazing and to detect damage at an early stage. The Maritime Research Program and the funding guideline Real-Time Technologies for Maritime Safety support the industry in developing innovative solutions in future fields of shipbuilding offshore industry and marine technology. In this way the federal government strengthens the competitiveness and innovative capacity of the maritime industry and secures future-proof jobs in Germany.
