Bavaria is one of the world's leading locations in the sensor technology sector. The regional network Strategische Partnerschaft Sensorik e.V. (SPS)/Cluster Sensorik has been bundling the sensor expertise of Bavarian companies, universities and research institutions for 15 years. (SPS)/Cluster Sensorik has been pooling the sensor technology expertise of Bavarian companies, universities and research institutes on behalf of the Free State of Bavaria for 15 years. "Intelligent Sensor Systems made in Bavaria" is the strategy of the approximately 90 members and over 250 partners. Here, high-tech expertise meets network know-how: In the Regensburg office, an experienced, interdisciplinary network team and the technology experts of the wholly owned subsidiary Sensorik-Bayern GmbH work together. This enables players not only to network, but also to drive developments in the areas of Industrial IoT (IIoT), Big Data, Blockchain, and even bionics - an innovation center from which the entire network benefits.

Players in the Bavarian sensor industry from business and science are offered by the Strategic Partnership for Sensor Technology e.V. (SPS) a multi-layered range of services. Depending on their individual needs, members and partners can take advantage of various formats for networking or consulting and support in the area of organizational and personnel development. Marketing for the industry, but also for the individual company and active participation in shaping technology development are further components of the SPS service portfolio. This is made possible by funding from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs' Cluster Offensive Bavaria, association contributions from network members, and funding at the state, federal and EU levels. The focus of the cooperation is the joint development of new solution approaches for future technologies under the guiding strategy "Intelligent Sensor Systems made in Bavaria". The network management supports members in developing innovative, internationally competitive business models, products and services. Guidelines for future-proof technological roadmapping are provided, among other things, by broadly based scientific studies in the network. On this basis, the SPS provides political actors with recommendations for action in technology promotion.
