This challenges the agricultural and food industry, the food trade and the public sector to make accompanying, cross-company and cross-border security systems more economical, reliable and internationally compatible. In order to achieve this goal, the Cluster Bonn.realis was launched in 2010 as a competence center for quality and crisis communication as well as modular safety technology for preventive consumer and population protection.
