Topics 2025

Carefully selected for perfect Partner Experience

Customer-centric vehicle interaction

Objective is to explore the outlook on developments for vehicle users enhancing the overall customer journey, as well as to efficiently use the time in this “Third space” with all options.​​

Technology & AI-driven process innovation

The need for speed in development processes for established technologies and products is a fact. Competitiveness, cost reduction and time to market are the key factors.

Material innovation & sustainability

The demand for sustainable materials and cost reduction as well as geopolitical affairs initiated the need for new thinking in materials.

New Energy Mobility

Tomorrow’s mobility is changing. Still, the need for easy recharging an E-vehicle, or fueling a hydrogen solution is not explored in full.​Present your solution for the infrastructure for EVs, FCVs or even the e-fuel potential.​

LOCATION

It gathers experts from the fields of science and the industry, to discuss innovations, sustainable mobility and future technology.
