LEADING THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF ELECTRIFIED AVIATION
AIRSPACE & ROUGH CLIMATE
No tight air spaces with temperatures between -30C in winter to +25C in summer, with wind, fog, rain, snow, darkness and midnight sun.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure installed at the airport with a 1 MW 100% renewable power
INNOVATION SUPPORT SYSTEM & NETWORK
We can offer support with financing through national and EU funds by development programs and projects that we apply for. We also structure a set of accelerator programs.
PROXIMITY TO A VIBRANT CITY
Skellefteå is in the center of the European green transition.
ABOUT ELIS PROGRAM
The development program was launched in 2021 to help speed up the way to commercialization of battery and hydrogen electric aircraft, eVTOLs, drones and supporting infrastructure.
The ambition is to become an early adopter of electric aviation and a leading hub in the research and development of electrified aviation in Sweden and beyond. The best way to innovate and push boundaries forward is to collaborate and work together in partnership.
