After the afternoon break and five interactive discussion rounds, the moderators will give a short summary of each world café in front of the audience to showcase all key takeaways.
All results, pictures, and key takeaways of the World Cafes will be photographed after the event and made available to our event app “hubs101”.
I am an Expert for the Auto Electronics Industry with a special focus on Connected Car Modules and Future IVI/ ADAS/ Autonomous Vehicle Domain Controllers. Strong automotive electronics leader with 20 years experience in Infotainment, Cockpit, ADAS and Electric Vehicle modules. Led global teams to deliver in-house built-to-print HW design and SW platforms resulting in MEGA cost saving (>$300 Mil) and BEST in class quality. I was directly involved and led the System Architecture and Strategy for Leading OEM such as Ford (NA) and Global product. I know the Market Trend/ Technology and Cost Dynamics in the Infotainment Electronics (HW /Complex SW/Integartion & HMI) area quite well from 2015 - 2025.
