Why you should come?

This year, European car manufacturers face significant challenges again, forcing many to scale back their plans. The shift to electric vehicles has already brought about one of the biggest changes in the automotive industry. A challenging macroeconomic environment, the difficulties of succeeding in the Chinese market, competition from new players, and stricter CO2-emission regulations render the situation even more difficult.

How can automotive industry companies retain their competitiveness in an extremely turbulent industry environment? Our current leaders are actively looking for a way out with energy, production efficiency, and green investments, seeing new development possibilities in the application of artificial intelligence and digitalisation, moving towards electrification and sustainability, while inspiring and helping their suppliers and employees. But what will it suffice for?

This year, the most important domestic OEMs, buyers, and suppliers will meet in Győr – let us learn from them and each other by sharing best practices, followed by a dinner, evening programmes, and possibilities for networking and accommodation after the technical programme.

On the second day of the conference, we will provide factory visits to several nearby sites with a shuttle bus service between sites - AUDI HUNGARIA Zrt., Dana Győr Driveline, Rába Nyrt. The participation fee includes the facultative factory visit. You can register for the venues during online registration.
