On July 22, our Day 2 of EXPO 10, we will talk with global industry leaders and dive into the newest tech trends. Our 29 Startups and 29 Partners will present their new developments in the fields of #mobility, #sustainability, #production, and #enterprise via interactive breakout sessions and innovation streams! Join the pilot sessions to discuss with the startups, partners, keynote speakers, and panel experts themselves and meet the Partner, Startups and the Team behind Startup Autobahn Plug and Play.

Breakout Sessions & Content Stream Startups, Partners, VCs and attendees meet in tech and interest-specific breakout rooms (alias Master-Classes). Facilitated group discussions, deep exchanges, and workshops.

Today, customer-centricity is a crucial success factor and companies are changing the way they operate to meet and exceed client expectations. At the same time, we are experiencing a 'technology explosion' on the market that companies need to keep up with.

So how can companies master the current challenges and unlock their full potential?

Sam Mantle, Executive Vice President of Digital Engineering at DXC Technology, is sharing success stories and key insights on how customer centricity can mean different things in different situations. He reveals how to create experiences when focusing on customers and integrating technologies, and how collaboration can help you achieve that goal.

We give the stage to STARTUP AUTOBAHN’s extensive network of industry-leading companies, disruptive startups, and world-class VCs.

Speakers are:

• Achim Loeffler, Head of Digitalization, Sustainability and PMO at BASF
• Inga Stoll, Projektmanager Material Efficiency at Bosch
• Andy Grau, Innovation Manager at Porsche
• Serge Gaudin, Director, Sustainability & Strategy at Novelis

We will discuss the following questions:

• What parts of the supply chain constitute the biggest pain points and should be addressed first for a circular economy?
• How can you improve those processes in a globalized world?

Meet the Community in 1:1 Sessions or join the stream to get an overview of what is happening the next full hour in our 6 parallel streams.

As automakers push toward the electric future, recycled and sustainable materials offer solutions to continuously innovate and drive the mobility industry forward. These novel materials do not just challenge the existing car materials industry but conform to the industry’s, and customers’ interest in more environmentally friendly options.

We will discuss the following questions: Green materials - what makes a material sustainable? What are the main conditions for sustainable materials and what are the differences between OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers?

Especially interesting for R&D Executives and Experts, Innovation Managers and Advanced Material Experts

Reduction of weight and costs with simultaneously increasing power efficiency are the main drivers in vehicle development and future drive train applications.

The lightweight design of vehicles can be achieved in many different ways that include material substitution, wall thickness reduction, redesign of the part shape and size, elimination of redundant parts, and consolidation of several parts into one or two without sacrificing the overall structural integrity. The combination of polymers and metals enables a hybrid design, merging the best of both worlds. To this extent, the metal coating of polymer parts can serve as an alternative to metals. The entire sup…

Especially relevant for Commercial trucking Companies and Trucking OEMs.

ZF/Wabco and Gestoos are going to showcase their recent joint development efforts for a real-time intelligent vision solution for commercial trucking trailers. Gestoos’ expertise in computer vision and machine learning along with ZF/Wabco’s deep experience and knowledge of commercial trucking systems proved a winning combination. ZF and Gestoos worked on efficiency and safety related use cases for cargo trailers.

We are at a stage in the computer vision evolution where technology can understand what is happening in real-time. This can be used not only to generate safety alerts when anomalies are detected but also to deliver live cargo data which can be used to optimize operating logistics.

Autonomous driving applications represent a major innovation for the automotive industry, accelerating the road to autonomous driving. In this session, Bosch, DXC, Hyundai and Murata discuss the key trends and requirements of core technologies for autonomous driving in the near future and will deep dive into the infrastructure needed to bring autonomous driving on the road. Further, our partners will share their experiences on pilot projects and will present how autonomous driving technologies have impacte…

A safe autonomous future requires fast and intelligent technologies that can identify, track and trace objects faster than the human senses. Reducing the lives threatened by the human biological limitations but also pressuring the technologies to continuously work without a single error. Pär-Olof Johannesson CEO Terranet shares his thoughts on what tomorrow’s technologies can do to ensure safety faster and all the way.

Especially relevant for executives – general Managers, VPs, Business People – or engineers – software, r&d – in OEMs and Tier 1 in the automotive space who are interested in 3D vision solutions to accelerate mass-market production.

NODAR is a leading provider of camera-based 3D vision software technology. By 2025, all autonomous vehicles – passenger and industrial – will require 3D perception systems to understand their environment and provide the high level of safety required for ADAS and autonomous vehicles.

Especially relevant for busy executives and leaders with P&L responsibility, who are always looking for an edge and care a lot about achieving better business results.

The business world became more uncertain, complex, and dynamic than ever before. In uncertain times many organizations accepted to fly blind resulting in the fact that most companies are not performing at their full potential. Business Leaders of the 2020s, however, understand that their ability to make effective and fast decisions prevents their organization from being blind to changes in market conditions, customer perceptions, and their business models. Augmented decision-making improves your ability to…

The key note targets the jungle of new buzzwords for example AI in the field of human-machine communication. We all know the problem that information is still too often incomplete or communicated incorrectly. But how can we make human-machine communication more efficient and how can we get more out of our data without losing the whole overview? This is the central question of this session.
