Program
Drive Forward 2027 will bring together European visionaries, industry leaders, policymakers and researchers to explore the developments shaping the future of automotive mobility. Through inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, interactive sessions and live demonstrations, the conference will focus on innovation, collaboration and the actions needed to strengthen Europe’s competitive position.
Under the theme Building Europe’s Mobility Advantage, Drive Forward 2027 will focus on two key drivers of the mobility transition: Digitalization and Decarbonization.
We are currently finalising an engaging programme featuring leading experts from industry, government, research and academia. Below you will find a preliminary programme overview, which will be updated regularly as new speakers, sessions and demonstration opportunities are confirmed.
To help participants make the most of their conference experience, Drive Forward 2027 will make use of the NetworkApp. This event platform enables attendees to connect with other participants, schedule meetings, explore the programme and receive real-time updates before and during the conference.
