Event Description:

Join us for this year’s Automotive Forum—one of our long-standing signature events—now taking place in the brand-new office space of our host KPMG at Hudson Yards. The program will feature a keynote on “Driving Future Growth: Scaling Innovation in Automotive, Mobility, and Manufacturing,” followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders.

Speakers will explore how AI, autonomy, and software-defined systems are moving from pilot phases to large-scale deployment, and how electrification and smart manufacturing are transforming supply chains and production models.

The discussion will also highlight the power of transatlantic collaboration in driving next-generation mobility solutions.

This event offers a valuable opportunity to gain forward-looking insights and connect with leaders from the German American business community.
