The ECOMAT research and technology center in Bremen pools the expertise of industry and science in the sustainable transformation of the aerospace industry. It provides access to key technologies in the fields of cryogenic hydrogen, lightweight construction, manufacturing technology, 3D-printing and virtual testing and approval processes. This strengthens Bremen's innovative capacity and competitiveness.

ECOMAT is both a research centre and a real community. Its laboratory facilities are just as important as the regular discussions and get-togethers where the 500 researchers who work there can swap ideas.

ECOMAT's main tenants are Airbus, TESTIA GmbH, WeserCAD, Leibniz-Institut für Werkstofforientierte Technologien (IWT), Faserinstitut Bremen e.V. (FIBRE) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Other medium-sized companies and scientific institutions, such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM are also represented on site.
