Tomorrow's European Automotive Market (San Francisco)

Globalization of the mobility market continues to evolve: international production, delivery, supply, data processing, communication, and management are increasingly influencing the markets for autonomous driving, connected vehicles, eMobility, shared services, mobility-on-demand and other emerging innovations.

Crossing borders means exposure to foreign regulations, unfamiliar legal structures, and different risk factors. For mobility businesses in the EU, the regulatory framework is intricate and the legal environment can seem daunting, but there is vast potential in this big market.

This international mobility workshop is designed to provide you with a practical and industry focused overview on the legal environment of today's and tomorrow's mobility market in the EU and will showcase how to mitigate possible challenges. Our overview will be followed by a dynamic panel discussion with expert mobility executives sharing market driven solutions and advice on how to benefit from the enormous opportunities in the automotive and wider mobility industry in Europe and beyond.
