AutoTech Partnerships and Alliances – Reshaping Automotive
As the dynamics of the industry become ever more turbulent, and the pressure on companies to innovate and transform increases, the nature of relationships is changing. Traditional development processes and supply chains are no longer barriers to entry but in fact competitive weaknesses. New thinking, skill sets, technologies, processes and tools require new partners.
As a result the relationship map is changing rapidly and the shape of the industry and who will emerge as key players is in dynamic flux. Steve Bell will present the development of current relationships, what’s influencing them and future trends. |

| | Who is winning the BEV Race?
It’s been two years since Ford went “all in” for electrification. Since then, the legacy automakers have been racing to catch up to BEV heavy-weight Tesla. But Tesla may be more concerned about Chinese BEV makers which have a $10,000 lower cost of production than Western counterparts.
So, who is winning and losing the race to build electric vehicles? What are the various automakers’ strategies and which automakers and regions are best positioned for success? Join Adam Ragozzino to find out. |

| | North American Barometer: Will Growth Continue Into 2024?
Production is closing in on pre-pandemic levels and sales mostly have outdone expectations. At the same time, with dealer inventory gradually improving automakers continue to raise retail prices while also allotting more production for less-profitable fleet volume. There remain existing and potential headwinds related to economic factors, geopolitics and the possibility of factory shutdowns as contract talks begin with the two major automotive unions in the U.S. and Canada.
Haig Stoddard will detail the current outlook in North America, with a focus on the U.S., for the rest of 2023 and first half of 2024, highlighting data points to watch that could point toward strength or weakness. |
