Member committees
Members have a seat at the table on SOFFs Committees. Join to connect with other company leaders, help shape the future of our market, and advise the association on key issues. Through the committees, the industry is afforded an opportunity to gather and distil its priorities, positions and views, which SOFF can then advance with the decisionmakers in Sweden and abroad. They also provide our members with a forum for dialogue where they can express feedback to the association on how events, programs and services can be improved.
The purpose of the Swedish Security & Defence Industry Association (SOFF) is to create the best possible preconditions for member companies to operate in Sweden and enhance their market accessibility and capacity to trade.
THE PURPOSE…
SOFF member companies are presented with significant opportunities, which come hand in hand with considerable challenges. It’s crucial to contextualise their growth on a global scale and assess the implications for the Swedish clientele. Currently, many firms are integrated into a matrix of international ownership configurations and global subcontractor supply chains. By proactively establishing the right conditions within Sweden, the groundwork is set for triumph on the global defence stage. The journey of exportation begins with research, innovation, and development. The Association aims to deepen understanding of the synergy between an efficient defence market and pioneering research, highlighting the resultant benefits from a security and defence policy standpoint.
… AND OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The paramount goal of SOFF is to ensure that security and defence enterprises in Sweden are afforded the most favourable conditions for growth and success. Fundamentally, this involves two main strategies: a sustained commitment to addressing market accessibility and trading terms, and engagement with prospective promotional procedures and initiatives. To achieve this, SOFF endeavours to shape the creation and execution of policies and legislative structures that impact the security and defence sector.
In the immediate future, SOFF’s primary concern is to guarantee an equitable environment for Swedish enterprises to export and partner on the global stage. Throughout the fiscal year, the Association also plans to bolster recognition of the pivotal role these enterprises play in fortifying Swedish defence capabilities, whilst also amplifying research and innovative ventures.
Our focus
Our key mission today is to illuminate for our decision-makers the indispensable role that our companies play in safeguarding our communities. Beyond just business, we are at the forefront of shaping security policy, making a safer future for all.
