Zero Funding for Leightweight and AM
🚫 Zero funding for lightweight and AM technology. What does this signal❓
Despite public promises in the coalition agreement, Germany’s federal budget for 2025/26 completely cuts funding for lightweight construction and #AdditiveManufacturing innovations 📉
👉 Lightweight design and #AdditiveManufacturing are key to energy efficiency, sustainability and industrial competitiveness.
👉 Start-ups and SMEs depend on public R&D support to scale new technologies and stay globally competitive.
This budget decision feels like a step backward – especially for an industry that’s central to decarbonization and digital transformation.
🤔 Is it realistic to expect breakthrough innovation without public support? Or will this push the industry elsewhere?
Rosswag Engineering continues to invest in #MetalAM excellence and lightweight applications – but we believe public incentives are crucial for a strong European future 💪
