What is Solakonferansen?
Our goal and vision
The goal of Stiftelsen Solakonferansen (The Solakonferansen Foundation) is to gather people from the aviation industry in order to improve and strengthen the safety, quality, and environmental issues within aviation. The conference program focus on current issues in aviation. We believe that gathering people around a common interest may spawn discussions, create new ideas, and hopefully inspire the participants in the continuous work to improve aviation safety. The conference, through its engagement, also aims to convey new knowledge, primarily to the aviation community, but also to areas outside aviation.
Our vision is to promote and underline the importance of safety in its broadest definition and to create an understanding that although safety has a cost, investing in safety will be profitable in the long run.
Who is it for?
First and foremost it’s for anyone with an interest in aviation safety and anyone who might influence aviation safety in a broad sense like; political leaders, authorities, operators, equipment manufacturers, industry associations, unions, research and educational institutions, media, energy companies, logistics suppliers etc.
