The political and economic challenges are greater than ever this year, both nationally and globally, and for all companies. This is especially true for the automotive industry. For 20 years, the electronica Automotive Conference has introduced international experts and executives to important topics, such as cybersecurity, the sensible and necessary use of AI, sustainable electrification, and resilience in the global supply chain, and has discussed these topics with them.
