It is where global perspectives and local development meet through innovative transportation solutions that reduce environmental impact and create new opportunities for both residents and businesses.

Satellite projects - innovation in new places

During the Society Expo, we also want to highlight various projects at satellite sites, such as the Droneport at Hammarängen and the Wasteland art park at Scharinsområdet. These are innovative testbeds where entrepreneurs and researchers can be inspired by future technologies and solutions. These places serve as dynamic labs where ideas are tested and developed.

Society Expo 2026 is not just an exhibition - it is a platform for meetings, learning and development. By spreading the event across several main venues in Skellefteå, a vibrant, inspiring and inclusive experience is created for all target groups.
