Collaborate with Arctic Aviation Hub

With three locations in Skellefteå and strong support from local partners, Arctic Aviation Hub can offer unique infrastructure for the development of drones, eVTOLs, battery- and hydrogen aircraft and supporting infrastructure.

We are both a place to test and develop but also a place for early commercial implementation. We can cover many of the necessary areas in the development of new technologies and we are probably one of the best places in the world to do winter testing.
