International Symposium on Vehicle Safety Systems

Get ready for an exciting gathering at the 17th event in the AIRBAG Symposium series – the leading international event focused on integral vehicle safety systems!

We invite engineers, scientists, legislators, managers, and marketing experts from around the globe to converge for two and a half dynamic days of knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration aimed at enhancing safety for all road users. 

The symposium provides a neutral platform for attendees to dive deep into relevant topics, including insights from international accident studies, the legislative framework shaping our industry, and the latest automotive trends and developments. Participants will explore groundbreaking innovations at both the system and component levels, along with the tools and methods essential for successfully bringing these systems to market. 

The program will also offer a forward-looking perspective on future applications and new business opportunities in the field of vehicle safety. Join us in preparing the way towards safer roads, and be part of the conversation that shapes the future of automotive safety.

Every two years, the latest developments, products, cutting-edge technologies, and research results from Europe, the USA, and Asia are traditionally presented by automobile manufacturers, suppliers, and institutes through lectures, posters, workshops, and an accompanying trade exhibition.
