𝗣𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗵𝗻𝗲𝗻, 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 – 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗿ü𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘁? That was the title of the latest Maybrit Illner episode on German TV. With Susanne Wiegand, member of Quantum Systems‘ advisory board, the talkshow had a true industry expert at the table. Here are the most striking 3 minutes of her intervention: ➡️ why companies like Quantum Systems produce in Ukraine ➡️ why Germany and Europe still need to catch up on speed and consequence ➡️ how Quantum Systems can scale when demand arises The full episode (66 min) is linked in the comments – but these 3 minutes are a must-watch.

We’re excited to see that the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany’s new Hightech Agenda recognizes fusion energy as a national priority, setting a course that puts Germany back where it belongs: at the forefront of building transformative technologies. Here are some of the key highlights: 🇩🇪 A Fusion Action Plan will be presented to the federal government by the end of this year, setting the course for the first commercial fusion power plant in Germany. 🇩🇪 A Fusion Energy Research and Innovation Roadmap (FIRE) will follow by the end of next year, mapping the core technologies needed. 🇩🇪 New networking hubs for magnetic and laser fusion will enter the concept phase this year, aiming to build or expand research infrastructures and demonstrators. 🇩🇪 New funding initiatives will launch in 2025, from exploratory research to enabling technologies. 🇩🇪 The federal government is positioning itself as a potential first anchor client for fusion. Thanks to leaders like Dorothee Bär, fusion has now moved from research to industrial strategy. Germany is stepping up by investing in energy sovereignty, industrial competitiveness and deep-tech leadership, and fusion as a scalable energy solution is gaining momentum. We’re proud to be building Europe’s energy future 🇪🇺⚡#MadeinGermany Read the full Agenda: https://lnkd.in/eHKuseVJ

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗧 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗹𝗺 Today, Baden-Württemberg’s Minister President Winfried Kretschmann visited our site in Ulm, where we develop and produce key technologies for the German Armed Forces, NATO, and EU partners. CEO Oliver Dörre highlighted the importance of cooperation with the state government to expand production capacities and meet the growing demand for high-performance defence systems. Minister President Kretschmann underlined the key role of Baden-Württemberg’s defence industry in ensuring peace, freedom, and technological sovereignty in Europe. During the visit, HENSOLDT presented the series production of air defence #radars that help protect Ukraine and support the #European #Skyshield initiative. The Minister President also gained insights into cutting-edge reconnaissance technologies from the #Pegasus project and HENSOLDT’s systems for the #Eurofighter combat aircraft.

🔬 Rock Tech Lithium receives funding for innovative lithium recovery   We are pleased to announce that Rock Tech Lithium has been awarded funding from the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space) for the project “ELiSePro – Efficient Lithium Recovery Using Selective Processes”. The aim of this initiative is to further increase lithium yield in our converter process at the Guben site, making a significant contribution to Germany’s raw material independence. The project will be implemented in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, highlighting the strong partnership between industry and leading academic research in Germany. As part of the project, various state-of-the-art ion separation methods (including nanofiltration, capacitive deionization, and lithium-ion sieves) will be systematically compared to minimize lithium losses in the process. The results will be evaluated based on economic and technological criteria and are intended for direct industrial application. Innovative findings will also be published in scientific journals and patented. This funding supports the advancement of the German and European battery industry – an important step towards strengthening security of supply for critical raw materials and building sustainable value chains in Europe. 🔋🌍🔗  #Innovation #RawMaterialSecurity #Lithium #Funding #Guben #BatteryIndustry #CircularEconomy

🇩🇪 When unmanned systems define the frontline, speed is strategy. “During my active duty with the German Armed Forces, I learned that trench warfare offers few chances for survival.” That's what our CEO Marc A. Wietfeld shared with manager magazin, explaining why ARX Robotics is committed to reshaping European defense. The magazine nails it: Europe's defense is changing fast. It’s not about big machines anymore — it’s about systems that already perform in real conditions. That’s where we come in. Our GEREON RCS is operational in Ukraine. Built alongside soldiers and proven under real-world pressure, it’s currently the largest fleet of tracked unmanned systems deployed on the frontline. But we're not stopping there. We're not just making products. We’re building a complete system to transform land forces. With the ARX Robotic Framework and MITHRA OS, we’re upgrading today's vehicles into intelligent, connected units. Bridging today’s equipment with tomorrow’s autonomy. ✔️ Modular platforms ✔️ AI-powered autonomy ✔️ Legacy system upgrades ✔️ Deployed across European forces GEREON is our first step. The bigger picture? Robotic infrastructure for land warfare: software-defined, battle-tested, ready for scale. Thanks to manager magazin for highlighting the future of European defense.

We’re proud to announce our R&D partnership between SWARM Biotactics and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft IME, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Andreas Vilcinskas, head of the Branch Bioresources of the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology. Fraunhofer IME pioneers the development and use of biotechnological methods that make insects, their molecules, cells, organs, and associated microorganisms usable for applications across medicine, agriculture, and #biotechnology. Their decades of expertise in insect biology and bioresources perfectly complement SWARM’s mission. At SWARM, we’re not building a better robot—we’re building a new class of system: bio-robotic swarms. By equipping living insects with sensors, AI, and secure comms, we harness biology’s unmatched mobility, efficiency, and resilience—creating controllable biobots that operate silently, persistently, and at scale. This partnership deepens our ability to translate cutting-edge science into mission-ready systems for defense, disaster response, and industrial inspection. Together, we’re fusing biology and technology to extend the limits of access, autonomy, and resilience. More to come as we advance this unique collaboration.
