12 Years of collaboration and innovation for the future of aerospace
Since 2014, Innovair has brought together industry, academia, research institutes and public authorities to strengthen Sweden’s position in aeronautics technology. Through collaboration, research and innovation, we have fostered long-term development and competitiveness. As the programme approaches its planned conclusion in 2026/2027, it is time to summarize its outcomes.
We invite researchers, decision-makers and representatives from the aeronautics and defence industries to reflect on and celebrate the achievements of the Innovair Strategic Innovation Programme. During this full-day conference, we will highlight key results, lessons learned and future opportunities emerging from our long-term innovation collaborations.
Innovation Hub
As part of the conference, we are proud to present the Innovation Hub – an exhibition where projects, companies and initiatives showcase their results, experiences and achievements. The exhibition offers a vivid picture of an ecosystem in which researchers, major industry players and small businesses have worked together to develop new technologies and strengthen Sweden’s position in aeronautics.
Why Attend?
You will get:
- A comprehensive overview of Innovair’s achievements and impact.
- Insights and lessons learned from 12 years of collaboration, both nationally and internationally.
- The opportunity to experience technologies and projects first-hand in the Innovation Hub exhibition.
Above all, the conference provides a platform to strengthen engagement in Swedish aerospace innovation and to explore opportunities beyond the programme itself.
Agenda
