The changing times are sweeping rapidly through many industrial sectors. In times of upheaval, this distance is increasingly transforming into a spirit of partnership. Companies that had little or no contact with defense technology for many decades are now willing to openly embrace the change.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For this reason, Knapp Service Koblenz GmbH<\/strong> and the Automotive Center S\u00fcdwestfalen (acs)<\/strong> met at the Knapp site in Koblenz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The acs<\/strong> is an R&D service provider and, in addition to industrial development projects, serves as a central platform for the implementation of technical content and interests of several companies in joint projects. Within the defense sector, the acs<\/strong> represents over 40 medium-sized companies and supports them in finding their way into the world of defense technology.<\/p>\n The meeting discussed the possible convergence of medium-sized automotive companies with procurement for the German Armed Forces. With its customer base in both worlds \u2013 military and civilian \u2013 Knapp<\/strong> offers an ideal platform for inexperienced medium-sized companies in military procurement.<\/p>\n Unthinkable just a few years ago, procurement for the Bundeswehr now appears to be a business opportunity. Under the title \u201cDefense Technology Compass\u201d (WTK 25)<\/strong> is currently building acs<\/strong> a strategic network and a detailed database for project participants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \"Defense technology needs SMEs \u2013 and SMEs need guidance. With the Defense Technology Compass and the support of Knapp Service Koblenz GmbH<\/strong> we are creating precisely that: a practical, networked, and partner-oriented approach to defense technology \u2013 especially for automotive companies that are increasingly recognizing the strategic potential of this market.\" \u2013 Maximilian Munk, acs<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Zeitenwende zieht sich in hoher Geschwindigkeit durch viele Industriebranchen.
