Why Ulm? Europe’s Engineering Crossroads
Ulm sits at the heart of Southern Germany’s manufacturing corridor, right on the A8 east-west autobahn between Stuttgart and Munich and at the junction with the north-south A7. That puts exhibitors and visitors within easy reach of two of Europe’s most advanced industrial regions and major OEM/supplier bases, with fast road and rail links in both directions.
Established Defence & High-Tech Industry
The region is home to significant defence-tech and sensor systems capability. HENSOLDT operates a major site in Ulm and is expanding production capacity there (including new PCB lines and radar test facilities), underscoring the city’s role in Europe’s defence industrial base.
Deep R&D and Skills Pipeline
Ulm’s “Science City” brings together Ulm University, research parks, and industry partners, fostering applied innovation and talent. The city also hosts leading energy-technology institutes—ZSW’s HyFaB research factory for hydrogen and fuel cells, and the Helmholtz Institute Ulm for next-generation battery materials—supporting electrification, autonomy, and power systems across defence and advanced manufacturing.
Multi-modal European Access
Located on the Danube corridor, Ulm connects into one of Europe’s key inland logistics networks—useful for heavy/oversize equipment and pan-European supply chains.
Highest church tower in the world.
Ulm is famous for its Minster with the highest church tower in the world and for being the birth place of Albert Einstein in 1879. The historic medieval City has much to offer the business traveller so why not combine your visit with all it has to offer.
