Welcome to our symposium
We are pleased to welcome you to a unique two-day event organized by the Association of the German Army (Förderkreis Deutsches Heer e.V.) and Kärcher Futuretech. This platform offers you the opportunity to delve into the latest developments in the field of „Supply and Protection in Theater“. Look forward to exciting expert presentations, impressive live demonstrations and innovative products. In addition to our Mobile Catering, Water Supply and Field Camp solutions, other leading companies will be showcasing their latest products.
We are particularly looking forward to keynote speeches from Brigadier General Lungershausen and other senior officials who will share their expertise and insights into the challenges and advances in the field.
The first day will conclude with an evening event, providing the perfect opportunity for networking and reflection. Take advantage of this time to connect with experts and colleagues, and deepen the insights you have gained.
