The Gripen Users Group serves as an important forum for the exchange of knowledge among the operating nations.
The aim is to learn from each other’s experiences, jointly analyze challenges and develop innovative solutions that further increase both efficiency, and safety in flight operations.
For Hungary as host, the conference was an excellent opportunity to present the progress and successes of its own Gripen fleet and at the same time to enter into a constructive dialog with its international partners about future development opportunities, writes the portal. The event not only strengthened technical cooperation, but also contributed to deepening bilateral relations between the participating nations.

An important part of the conference was the participation of the Swedish Saab Group, the manufacturer of the Gripen fighter aircraft.
This enabled the user nations to have a direct exchange with the manufacturer in order to discuss specific needs and suggestions for improvement. The Gripen Users Group Conference in Budapest thus underlines the close and future-oriented partnership in the field of military aviation.
