Focus topics
Powered by Code, Driven by Culture.
Leadership that understands software steers success.
SDV, AI
& Cybersecurity
Software-defined vehicles are fundamentally changing how we develop, build, and secure vehicles. This topic explores the entire technology stack, from zonal architectures and edge intelligence to over-the-air updates, and examines the growing attack surface that emerges with each new line of code.
We dive deep into resilient cloud-to-car pipelines, OTA compliance, Gen AI-powered validation, and quantum-ready encryption solutions.
The focus:
Turning software speed into a strategic advantage without compromising security, integrity, or trust.
R&D Transformation,
Culture & Mindset
Breakthroughs don't come from code alone; they come from the way teams think, collaborate, and learn.
This topic area focuses on agile hardware software co-design, model-based systems engineering and data-driven decision cycles, supported by the cultural changes necessary for them to have a lasting impact.
Concrete playbooks are expected for developing product managers, building innovation spaces with psychological safety, and leading multidisciplinary teams through continuous change. The biggest obstacle to progress isn't technology—it's mindset.
The focus:
Making engineering transformation a repeatable, human-centered capability.
Partnering, Procurement
& Competitiveness
No company wins this race alone. This topic area focuses on the new economy of coopetition: open platforms, IP sharing in joint ventures, alliances around batteries and semiconductors, and supplier networks that focus on transparency and speed.
Experts will provide insights into software-centric procurement strategies, balanced make-or-buy decisions, and demonstrate how supply chain resilience can be translated into sustainable competitive advantages. You'll learn how to negotiate smarter, integrate faster, and create real added value across the entire mobility stack.
The focus:
Build competitive advantage through faster, smarter, and more strategic collaboration.
Electrification &
Drivetrain Innovation
Whether new battery cell chemistries, hydrogen combustion engines, 800-volt power electronics, or bidirectional charging, innovation in the drive system is progressing in many areas simultaneously.
The sessions will explore strategies for scaling, raw material sustainability, thermal runaway safety, and end-of-life circularity.
We bridge the gap between technological breakthroughs in propulsion and topics such as grid integration, energy markets and total cost of ownership, so you can electrify portfolios, reduce emissions and delight customers.
The focus:
Bringing clean drives from the laboratory into the fleet without compromising on safety, cost or performance.
