Berlin Brandenburg Aerospace Allianz

What Berlin Brandenburg Aerospace Allianz does

Berlin-Brandenburg Aerospace Allianz (BBAA) is a registered non-profit aerospace industry association (eingetragener Verein, e.V.), headquartered at the Zentrum f\u00fcr Luft- und Raumfahrt I in Wildau, Brandenburg, and registered with the Vereinsregister at Amtsgericht Cottbus (VR 6202 CB). Its function is to serve as the central coordinating network for the Berlin-Brandenburg aerospace cluster, connecting regional companies (from startups such as LiveEO, Neurospace, Berlin Space Technologies, and Exolaunch to airports such as Forschungsflugplatz Sch\u00f6nhagen and Verkehrslandeplatz Cottbus-Neuhausen) with research institutions (e.g., TH Wildau, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg) and public stakeholders. The organization operates seven concurrent sub-initiatives: LABB (Lausitz Aerospace Berlin-Brandenburg), FELUFA II (low-emission aviation workforce), SCBB (business aviation innovation), EACP (European Aerospace Cluster Partnership), IBEFA (low-emission aircraft engine competency region), Space Berlin International (SBI) for space industry internationalization, and KIFER 2 (electric aviation infrastructure), as well as the NEU START regional development initiative. BBAA is governed by Dr. Karsten M\u00fchlenfeld as Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer, with Prof. Dr. Andreas Timmermann as Handlungsbevollm\u00e4chtigter.\n\nBBAA's business model is supported by three identified revenue streams: recurring membership fees from regional aerospace companies and institutions, EU and Brandenburg state project funding tied to its named initiatives, and event-related income from joint exhibition stands and trade show participation. Pricing specifics (membership tiers and dues) are not publicly disclosed, consistent with the organization's status as a non-profit association. Go-to-market is event-driven: BBAA organizes or co-organizes presence at major industry venues (ILA Berlin 2026 with a 101 sqm Gemeinschaftsstand in Hall B; AERO Friedrichshafen jointly with IHK Cottbus) and runs structured international delegation trips (notably to India under the Space Berlin International project, where the Berlin Senate opened an overseas office in 2026, and to Canada for the Montreal Aerospace Innovation Forum with a 55-participant German delegation in 2026). Distribution and member engagement are conducted regionally through direct outreach, event-based contact, and project-based collaboration; international extension is achieved primarily through trade shows and delegations.\n\nThe organization serves three identified vertical segments: (1) aerospace companies and startups (primary segment, addressing needs for international visibility, networking, partnerships, and funding access), (2) research institutions and universities (seeking industry partnerships, technology transfer, and funding opportunities), and (3) regional airports and landing fields (requiring support for modernization, sustainability, and new mobility concepts including charging infrastructure). BBAA's technology stack is described in source materials as 'Not applicable,' reflecting its nature as a coordination network rather than a product or platform company. AI/ML capability is not claimed at the BBAA corporate level; AI relevance is confined to portfolio companies such as LiveEO (AI-powered Earth observation).

Direct peers

• bavAIRia: Bavarian aerospace cluster network coordinating industry, research, and policy stakeholders. Closely mirrors BBAA's role as a regional aerospace cluster manager with EU project coordination.
• Hamburg Aviation: Regional aerospace cluster organization for the Hamburg metropolitan area. Directly comparable to BBAA as a state-level industry network connecting aerospace companies, research institutions, and airports in Germany.
• Aviaspace Bremen: Aerospace cluster for the Bremen/Niedersachsen region focused on aviation and space industry networking. Co-participates with BBAA in joint German delegation programs to Canada and other international forums.
• Aerospace Center Baden-Württemberg: Aerospace cluster network for Baden-Württemberg with comparable focus on connecting regional companies, R&D, and airports. Co-delegation partner with BBAA in Canadian trade missions and ILA programming.
• Niedersachsen Aviation: Lower Saxony aerospace network organization. Operates a near-identical cluster model connecting regional SMEs with EU funding programs and international trade missions, including joint participation with BBAA in the Montreal delegation.

Others

• IHK Berlin (Industrie- und Handelskammer Berlin): Berlin Chamber of Commerce providing broader industry support and co-organizing trade missions (e.g., AERO Friedrichshafen joint stands). Tangentially comparable as a regional business services organization serving similar SME constituencies.
• European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP): Meta-network of European regional aerospace clusters. BBAA is itself a member/partner of EACP, and EACP represents the supra-regional layer above BBAA’s cluster coordination activities.

Broad incumbents

• BDLI (Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie): German national aerospace industry association representing manufacturers and tier suppliers nationwide. Comparable as a sector association but operates at national rather than regional cluster level and focuses on industrial policy advocacy.

Regional players

• Aviation Valley Austria: Austrian aerospace industry cluster centered in Wiener Neustadt with similar mission of connecting aerospace companies, research, and airports. Closely comparable cluster model in a different national geography.
• Pole SAFE (formerly Pôle Aéro Aerospace Valley): France’s leading aerospace cluster centered on Toulouse/Occitanie. Offers a comparable cluster-management role for regional aerospace SMEs and is a logical comparator for BBAA’s cluster-coordination and trade show joint-stand model.
