Partners & how to become a partner
Our partners play an active role in bringing insights, expertise and real-world innovation to the event. From thought leadership and networking to live demonstrations and showcase opportunities, their contributions help make Drive Forward 2027 a meeting place for everyone working to strengthen Europe’s mobility ecosystem.
Our sponsorship programme is available in five partnership packages, offering a range of opportunities for visibility, engagement and participation at Drive Forward 2027. Each package is designed to help organisations connect with key stakeholders across the mobility ecosystem and position themselves at the forefront of industry developments.
Partners who choose to host a session are responsible for facilitating the content, while the Drive Forward team provides guidance and support to help ensure a valuable experience for attendees. If you would like more information about the available packages, we would be happy to discuss the options and help identify the best fit for your objectives.
Please note that keynote speaking slots are not included in the partnership packages. However, if a partner can introduce an exceptional speaker who aligns with the conference programme and quality standards, we may offer them a keynote opportunity at no additional cost. In such cases, the partner is responsible for the speaker’s travel and accommodation arrangements.
