Sophisticated car occupant systems like airbags and belt restraint systems are the most increasing safety devices in recent times. Although the benefits are well-known by experts, a need of close cooperation between all interested parties is undoubtedly necessary.

The 8th Airbag Symposium in 2006 will again be the market place for engineers, scientists, legislators, managers and marketing people to exchange information, to get and to improve contacts, to stimulate further progress and to promote advanced car passenger safety systems on a neutral stage.

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

Welcome again in Karlsruhe,
Germany, meeting the world of Airbag 2006.
