Automotive electro-mobility, one of the hottest automotive topics today, will be a central focus of the upcoming electronica show, which will take place from November 9 to 12, 2010 in Munich, Germany. Organizers have developed a three pillar platform to allow visitors to learn as much as possible about electro-mobility.
Pillar 1: At the electronica 2010 automotive conference, top managers from the international automobile, automotive component supply and electronics industries will present technologies, solution approaches and strategies to deal with automotive challenges in the coming years. The electronica automotive conference, “electronics meets automotive”, begins on Monday, one day before the start of the trade fair, in the Munich International Congress Center.
Pillar 2: The exhibition itself will feature a large percentage of automotive companies. Around 20 percent of exhibitors will present solutions for automobile electronics in the exhibition halls.
Pillar 3: On all four days of the trade fair, the Automotive Forum in Hall A6 will feature talks and podium discussions on topics such as power supply or key components in electro-mobility.
With these three pillars, electronica will provide an all-round platform for automobile electronics. The conference language is English. Download the automotive conference program.
Automotive conference developments and strategies
