The 16th AIRBAG symposium will be held at a demanding time for automotive manufacturers and suppliers, as they transition towards electrification, digitalization and the roll-out of autonomous driving functionalities. This transformation offers numerous challenges but at the same time significant opportunities for the development and implementation of innovative safety systems.

The symposium will once again be the venue for international engineers, scientists, legislators, managers and marketing experts to exchange information, to make new contacts and to network to promote integral safety for road users on an impartial platform.  The two day program will cover relevant aspects from global accident studies and legislation framework, automotive trends and developments, innovations on system and component level, related tools and methods for bringing systems efficiently to market as well as an outlook into future applications and new business opportunities. 

First time this symposium will offer a platform for young talents to get in touch with the community and to set foot in this exciting area of technology. – Welcome to Mannheim, Germany and to AIRBAG 2024!
