Milestone-Based Funding is a Key Enabler for Breakthrough Aerospace Innovation in Germany
Yesterday, our colleagues David Loebl, Maximilian Oligschläger and Benedikt Albertsen had the honor of meeting State Minister Florian Herrmann at the Bavarian State Chancellery to discuss the future of electric aviation in Germany and Bavaria.
Thank you for the open and forward-looking exchange, Dr. Hermann.
Electrified aviation is more than just another means of transportation. It is a strategic capability that strengthens European resilience and reinforces our technological sovereignty.
To scale deep-tech aerospace, milestone-based funding is essential. Public funding tied to verified technological progress reduces government risk, increases accountability and unlocks private capital for strategically important technologies.
Bavaria has the ecosystem to lead. With the right milestone-based public funding program in place, it can shape Europe’s aerospace future.
