75 Years of DGON: Working Together to Advance Navigation

At the DGON Shipping Day in Hamburg, around 70 experts from academia, industry and public authorities came together to discuss the future of digital shipping. Topics such as e-navigation, new data standards, connected systems and automated processes demonstrate just how rapidly navigation is evolving.

Aerodata shares a long history with the DGON. We were therefore even more delighted to support the 75th-anniversary celebrations as a sponsor. Our founders, Prof. Schänzer and Prof. Vörsmann, maintained close ties with the professional association for many years. To this day, we remain guided by the principle of translating scientific findings into innovative and practical solutions.

Our COO, Michael Bitzer, highlighted this connection in a speech marking the DGON’s 75th anniversary. He emphasised that progress arises where people bring together their knowledge, experience and diverse perspectives.

We warmly congratulate the DGON on its anniversary and look forward to many more innovations for the navigation of tomorrow.
