Background
Siljan AirPark is a unique project of concept living combined with private flying. Both swedish and foreign aviation enthusiasts gather at Siljan AirPark. Located at the airfield since many years is also the local flying club. At Siljan AirPark we also support the entertainment- and education-activities connected to Biggles Café.

Business
Among the settlers at Siljan AirPark, there are many entrepreneurs and creative business owners. This is a place with big possibilities for those who wish to fulfil their dreams and commecrialize their business ideas.

Several members have companies within the IT sector.		Development of hybrid vehicle technology at a members workshop.
Development within heavy industry can also be a future business. Installation of a members windmill.		Office services is very important to the AirPark companies as well as others.
It’s a deal at Siljan AirPark.		One member markets hightech energy solutions.
Fruit beverage production at one members plant.		Distribution is also a vital part of a succesful business.

The first object for the settlers will of course be to build the village itself with houses and hangars as well as related infra structure. When this stage is finished, many of the settlers will continue with the development of their businesses. Some with established companies and others with newstarts. We will see both independent businesses and those working together, common for both is that they will work within the business environment, both locally at Siljan AirPark, but also Leksand municipality and Dalarna region in general.

The benefit of business activities at Siljan AirPark will give effects in the region both regarding employment opportunities and new business opportunities. All businesses will need to cooperate locally. Many types of services and products will be needed.

In order to cater for this unique resource there must be a good will and investments form several involved parties. There must be available good transports (OK, it’s an airfield, but other means of transportation is equally important), communication etc.

		The Leksand municipality comprises 91 villages. With Siljan AirPark the 92nd village is being created. The settlers are gathering at Siljan AirPark due to their interest in aviation and flying. The village is proof of a great belief in Leksand municipality and of course Siljansnäs. The new investments will contribute to develop Siljansnäs. Many new entrepreneurs and business owners will move to Siljan AirPark which in turn is good for the whole region of Siljansnäs and Leksand.
