Skellefteå Airport
Skellefteå Airport is more than just an airport – it is a gateway to the world and a testing ground for the future of sustainable travel. Global perspectives and local development meet here through innovative transport solutions that reduce environmental impact and create new opportunities for both residents and businesses. As a key arena during SE26, the airport will showcase how electric aviation and other emerging technologies can shape a greener, more accessible future, in line with the strategy "Proximity in Everyday Life and to the World."

The location symbolises Skellefteå’s journey from a regional player to a key hub in Sweden and Europe’s new industrial era. With a focus on climate neutrality, gender equality, and skills supply, Kurjoviken connects to the strategy "A Growth Hub for Sustainable and Global Impact."

During SE26, Kurjoviken will also be a family-friendly destination, offering activities at Kolkajen and lakeside artisan workshops where social sustainability and community are at the forefront. This inspiring meeting place will bring together locals and visitors alike, showcasing future solutions and innovations in a unique coastal environment.

Satellite project – innovation in new places

At Society Expo, we also want to highlight various projects at satellite locations, such as Droneport at Hammarängen and the art park Wasteland at Scharinsområdet. These showcase innovative testbeds where entrepreneurs and researchers can explore the technologies and solutions of the future. These sites 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 key locations in Skellefteå, we create a vibrant, inspiring, and inclusive experience for all audiences.
