Risk management for Aviation and SpaceTech companies
Risk Partners Technology advises on all insurance issues relating to innovative aerospace technologies and associated investments. We focus on both young and established private companies, investors and financiers.
SpaceTech and new technologies in aviation regularly require considerable investment. This is accompanied by considerable economic uncertainty for both companies and investors, which also means personal liability risks for management in particular.
In addition, we are seeing very strong interaction between private and public players in the industry, with the number of private projects and the volume of private investment funds developing rapidly. The complexity of legal requirements is growing just as rapidly, driven by new regulatory requirements and the need to protect existing know-how and the value of investments.
At Risk Partners Technology, we are your partner for risk transfer in Aviation and SpaceTech and support you in transferring your risks to the insurance market.

FAQs
Aviation & SpaceTECH insurances
What special insurance do companies need for drone technology?
Companies in the drone technology sector typically require special aviation liability insurance, product liability insurance for hardware components, cyber insurance for data protection risks and, depending on the business model, other specific cover such as business interruption insurance or financial loss liability insurance for consulting services.
How do insurance solutions for SpaceTech differ from traditional industrial insurance?
SpaceTech insurance policies must take into account specific risks such as launch risks, space liability and special regulatory requirements. They often have an international focus and require access to specialized insurance markets with corresponding expertise. Sums insured are typically significantly higher than for traditional industrial insurance, and risk assessment requires specialized technical know-how.
Which international insurance markets are particularly relevant for German Aviation & SpaceTech companies?
In addition to the German market, the London market (Lloyd's), the US market and specialized insurers in Switzerland are particularly relevant. Depending on the specific risk profile, insurance markets in Singapore or Bermuda may also be of interest. As an international broker, we have established relationships with all relevant markets and can therefore develop optimal coverage concepts for your company.
