    At our 6th annual Future of the Car Digital Conference we zeroed-in on the critical risks and opportunities brought into play by COVID-19, shifts in consumer behaviour, the competition for skills and talent, emerging technologies, new business models, and the move towards a net-zero global economy. Some key observations that ran through many of the conversations: -Covid-19 is changing automotive decision-makers' thinking around preparedness, global integration, and handling the “unknown unknowns” of the global economy. -Carmakers are accelerating their plans to reduce the industry's impact on the environment -The whole car ecosystem is rapidly digitizing and leveraging AI and other emerging technologies, to improve company performance and protect margins in a difficult trading environment.

    Premier digital events supported by the world's best journalism


    FT Live events keep you connected and informed in an uncertain and constantly changing world. Using leading digital technology, we have now taken our content, global audience reach and engagement to a new level through a series of unmissable virtual events. Our compelling programmes, chaired by respected FT journalists, feature the most senior and thought-provoking decision-makers in business, finance and politics, all accessible from your office or home.  




    CENTRAL THEMES



    COVID-19 impact: 

    How has the crisis changed automotive decision-makers' thinking around preparedness, global integration, and handling the “unknown unknowns” of the global economy?



    Carbon clampdown: 

    What can carmakers do to sustain and redirect the momentum for change precipitated by COVID-19 to accelerate their plans to reduce the industry's impact on the environment?




    Supply chain shake-up: 

    The pandemic illustrates what can happen when highly integrated, global supply chains are hit by big shocks. What useful lessons have been learned?




    Leadership, skills and talent: 

    What new ideas are carmakers putting to the test to coax in the talent and skills they need? As the tech giants seek to develop their own manufacturing capacity, what can carmakers do to fend off attacks on their existing talent base?





    Customer-centricity: 

    Consumer behaviour and public opinion is shifting. What consumers want and how they shop for it is in the midst of a dramatic tech-driven change. How are carmakers and suppliers adapting?




    Data explosion and digitisation: 

    How are carmakers and Tier 1s digitizing their businesses and leveraging AI, swarm intelligence, and other emerging technologies, to improve company performance and protect margins in a difficult trading environment?
