Future of the Car
A powerful set of human, technological and natural forces have converged to produce a business environment in flux and fraught with uncertainty. Automakers and leaders across the supply chain are having to become crisis experts, with the war in Ukraine and economic uncertainty placing further strain on the fragile ecosystem. On top of this, countries have all made zero emission pledges, which alongside the growing consumer demand for EVs is putting pressure on OEMs and the automotive industry to transition to EVs quickly. What new skills, strategies, and strategic alliances does the car industry need to develop to future-proof businesses and ensure long-term success?
The Future of the Car summit is a must-attend, three day strategy-focussed conference for anyone leading at the juncture of traditional automotive industry practice and technology-driven disruption. It is the only automotive summit to attract the most visionary CEOs and thinkers for an objective analysis of the industry’s toughest challenges.

Watch On-Demand Free Pre-Event Webinar
Europe is home to more than one quarter of the global EV production, and with many countries looking to lessen their reliance on China, Europe has the opportunity to establish itself as a frontrunner in the EV race. However, the war in Ukraine, high energy prices and the US’ Inflation Reduction Act are putting European EV production targets at risk. These events are threatening to destabilise the European economy further and are tilting trade and investment away from the EU. How should Governments, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers work together to keep automotive manufacturers in the EU? Can the European car industry rebound?
This exclusive webinar that took place on 31 January 2023 provide OEMs with key tips on securing funding and investment in the EU, as well as a strategy for growing a competitive automotive hub in Europe
