Competence Center Aerospace Kassel Calden (CCA)

The civil aviation industry and air transport industry are growing steadily for years and, for years to come. Both sectors have high requirements on established and new actors in the field: increasingly complex and global development- and production processes as well as high cost pressure characterize the market- and the technology environment. Apart from the technological excellence, the ability to collaborate successfully is becoming the key factor for the continuous participation within the booming aircraft construction and air traffic.

With that in mind, almost 50 companies and research facilites have gathered in the Competence Center Aerospace in Kassel Calden (short: CCA) with the goal to bundle, strentghen and market their abilities and ressources. Personal initiative and collaborative partnerships on the basis of spatial and content-related proximity are the key factors for success.

As a professional networking-, marketing- and innovational platform within the fields 'aeronautical engineering' and 'docking systems for the aviation industry', the CCA and its members have gained significant attention within the region and beyond. The foundation now has to be expanded and translated into market success and technological progress.
