Shaping the Next Era of Automotive Transformation
AIC, in collaboration with ACICAE and Mobility Global (previous S&P Global Mobility), invites you to the event Understanding the Intelligent Vehicle | Shaping the Next Era of Automotive Transformation | 6th Edition, that will take place in our facilities next September, 24th, 2026.
This meeting will bring together key stakeholders from the automotive and technology ecosystem and will provide a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on the rapid transformation of the industry, from the acceleration of electrification to the emergence of software-defined and autonomous vehicles.
Through a dynamic agenda combining keynote sessions, expert presentations, and panel discussions, and vehicle benchmarking, the event will explore how regulatory pressures, new market entrants, and shifting competitive dynamics are reshaping Europe’s automotive landscape. Particular focus will be placed on the profitability of BEVs, the role of digitalization, and the critical technology and supply chain shifts required to support long-term industry resilience.
In addition, dedicated sessions will highlight the growing importance of battery ecosystems and energy infrastructure, including recycling, traceability, and evolving value chains that will define the next phase of electrification. Complemented by interactive discussions, benchmarking insights, and networking opportunities, the event aims to foster collaboration and provide actionable intelligence for industry leaders navigating the transition toward intelligent, connected, and sustainable mobility.
