2nd Technology Transfer Conference 2008: Security
In cooperation with the Bavarian Ministry of Economics and the European Space Agency
October 13 and 14, 2008
The space industry is booming. New programs and space missions to Mars and the moon require latest developments and pioneering technologies. The public and the industry is almost unaware of the fact that a number of technological findings are a result of many decades of aerospace research, such as the air bag, the antilock braking system ABS or navigation devices.
ESA has developed its own program to promote the idea of technology transfer more actively across Europe. Frank M. Salzgeber, Head of the TTP Department: “The European industry is constantly on the lookout for new technologies and methods it can discover and use for itself. Gaining a head start in knowledge is a must for global competition as innovative technological developments can be considered a decisive factor for national and international economic growth and global competitiveness. The effective use and marketing of existing knowledge is a prerequisite for successful innovations. Unfortunately, the European industry and the European aerospace business are circling in different orbits and hardly meet. The second Technology Transfer Conference seeks to link up the industry and the aerospace business in a more targeted and active way. This year’s conference focuses on security.
The conference particularly aims at industrial representatives and gives examples of how space technology from the field of security can be used in other industry sectors and how the findings from aerospace science can promote economic success. The conference focuses on three main topics in great detail:
- Safety and border control with Terahertz
- Sensors, radar and earth observation
- Protection by shielding
Moreover, the conference serves as a platform for international business contacts that can be deepened during the evening event in the traditional Bavarian restaurant "Der Pschorr". The conference will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation into German.
Over 20 lectures are given by renowned experts like:
- Volker Zintel, Fraport AG: Current safety standards and factual requirements of an airport
- Arttu Luukanen,VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland: Terahertz
- Roger Appleby, Qinetiq: Standoff detection of weapons and contraband in the 100 GHz to 1 THz range
- Dr. Helmut Essen, Research institute for high frequency physics and radar technology: FGAN

Innovative design and bionically inspired construction for new products
3rd MATERIALICA Unternehmerforum Design powered by bayern design GmbH
October 14, 2008
The major task of innovative enterprises is to keep their products alive in the long term. Today’s developers have to incorporate completely different mindsets, models and methods into their products as a prerequisite for being one important step ahead of one's competitors. This pioneering conference describes the stimulating fields of design and bionics and provides designers, developers and engineers with valuable content for implementing new products. Apart from new characteristics and functionalities, these two areas represent innovative technological approaches with respect to material efficiency, protection of resources, sustainability and design. The conference, which was developed in close cooperation with bayern design, informs about bionically-inspired adaptronics, new materials for design, new properties made possible with nano additives, international design and decorative metal.

Material and Processes
2nd MATERIALICA yacht and boatbulding conference 2008
October 16, 2008
A boat is a complex structure that is constantly exposed to outer aggression. The materials and processes required in boatbuilding should be resistant to any weather and determine how long it takes until the boat can be considered old. As a result, these materials have to have several properties that ensure durability even when they are combined with complex compounds. The conference informs manufacturers, developers, engineers and designs about state of the art materials and processes in yacht and boatbuilding, gives an outlook on future developments and reflects on current research findings.
13 lectures are given by renowned experts like:
