Saab's CEO on business opportunities and partnerships

Åke Svensson started his presentation by emphasising the breadth of Saab, using as examples the important orders won by Saab’s three business segments; Thailand’s Gripen order, the order for the AT4 and Carl-Gustaf anti-tank systems and Giraffe surveillance radar system from the United Kingdom and the order for command & control systems for Australia’s new amphibious vessels.

Three important events

Åke Svensson pointed out three important events so far this year that clearly signalled Saab’s potential for the future. He stressed the uniqueness of a company, which in the space of a few months is able to present to the world market, and fly, systems as varied as Gripen’s demonstrator programme and the airborne surveillance system Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C. As a third point, Åke Svensson pointed out the investment that Saab is making within the area of civil security with the creation of the Saab Security business segment.

Saab’s CEO also spoke about partnership as an important condition of future development projects and business opportunities and he concluded by commenting on the state of the Gripen market.
