Munich Bavarias Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger evaluates the development cooperation between the Bavarian Defenseetech company TDW and strong as a sign of an increasing importance of the security and defense industry (SVI) for the Bavarian economy. Aiwanger: Bavaria is a high-tech location and unfortunately some traditional industrial heavyweights come under increasing economic pressure. The SVI industry, on the other hand, has increasing personnel requirements. Our Bavarian high-tech companies bring the worlds leading skills in aviation technology, Sensorism and Effect. This means that they are still predestined to secure jobs in Bavaria.
Innovative defense technologies are becoming increasingly important for the economic and security policy future of the Free State. The development cooperation between TDW and strongly strengthens the defense and technology location of Bavaria. It is an example of how industrial innovative strength and security policy responsibility can go hand in hand. The TDW Society for Defense Technical Systems MBH and Stark signed a contract for joint cooperation and development of future technologies on July 30, 2025. The partnership will sustainably strengthen the drone location of Bavaria. Bavaria is one of the leading locations of the security and defense industry. A third of all-German value creation in the security and defense industry is generated in the Free State. With sales of 9.5 billion euros and around 50,000 employees, Bavaria is already strongly represented in this industry. The Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs supports cross -sectoral cooperation in the field of defense -relevant technologies with targeted support programs and initiatives. The Bavarian Technology Hub plays a central role for the Security and Defense Industry (Techhub SVI), which accelerates innovations and networked companies in the Bavarian SVI industry with scientific institutions, start-ups and actors from a wide variety of economic areas.
