I had the privilege of joining a panel at the #IAAMobility to discuss the future of the European automotive industry with Benjamin Krieger from CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers, Otmar Scharrer from ZF Group, and Tobias Piller from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Key takeaways: - The automotive supplier industry is the backbone of the economy: 7% of EU GDP, ~14M jobs, and >30% of total R&D spend. - Current challenges are unprecedented: growing global competition, high factor costs, and the technological disruption. - The way forward: the competitive landscape will continue to change rapidly. The winners will be those who proactively and radically transform, focusing on costs, speed, and innovation. Excited to see how the industry evolves in the coming years and to support in that transition!
