Sophisticated car occupant systems such as airbags and belt restraint systems represent the most rapidly increasing market for safety devices in recent times. Although the benefits are well known to experts, there is clearly a need for close cooperation between all interested parties.

The 10th Airbag Symposium in 2010 will again be a meeting place for engineers, scientists, legislators, managers and marketing experts to exchange information, to make and improve contacts, to stimulate further progress and to promote advanced car passenger safety systems on an impartial platform.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT is the leading independent research and development facility for airbag technology and testing. As a division of Fraunhofer, Europe’s largest organization for applied and contract research, the Fraunhofer ICT offers a unique event for automobile industry suppliers and public authorities.

Welcome again to Karlsruhe, Germany, and the world of Airbag 2010.
Jochen Neutz
Chairman of the Symposium
