A conference presented by the IBA European Regional Forum

The automotive and mobility services industry is navigating a complex landscape of significant challenges, including supply chain disruptions, the transition to electric vehicles, and shifting consumer demands for sustainability and innovation. These pressures are prompting a re-evaluation of traditional business models and operational strategies. The conference discussions will focus on key themes including: the ongoing crisis in the European automotive industry, examining the implications for industrial transformation and restructuring, and the role of artificial intelligence in revolutionising manufacturing processes, sales, and customer interactions. Join us while we explore these critical issues and seek collaborative solutions to drive the future of mobility forward. 

Topics include:

  • The AI Act (the expected AI Liability Directive and Product Liability Directive) and Data Act
  • What is the future of electromobility? Infrastructure, sustainability - batteries, charging sources, electricity production, green energy
  • Supply chain in view of global geopolitics - China vs USA after the elections
  • HR in automotive and mobility services including HR shortages, global mobility, lay-offs, generational change, qualification of the personnel in the change from mechanics to IT and are jobs being taken over by robotics?
  • ESG

Carbon efficient travel
With IBA conferences taking place in major business centres all over the world, travel is an unavoidable reality for our delegates. The IBA encourages its members and delegates to be responsible and conscious of the impact travel has on the environment and to take measures to reduce the carbon impact of their travel.

Some suggested steps that delegates can take include:

  • Travel by train instead of flying if possible.
  • Book direct flights instead of connecting flights, if available, as limiting the number of stops needed will reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Consider the impact of the travel class that you book – business class travel equates to three times the carbon footprint of economy class.

Relying on the local public transport is the more carbon friendly option, but this is not always a realistic option. Where reliance on taxis/cars is needed use electric vehicles over petrol or diesel and share vehicle usage with other delegates and colleagues.
