The future of the automotive industry in Baden-Württemberg: Between Brussels plans and business requirements
The automotive industry is one of the main pillars of the European economy. In the transition to a more sustainable, digitalized future, it plays a key role in securing the continent's competitiveness. As one of Europe's automotive centers, Baden-Württemberg is at the heart of a comprehensive transformation process.
The Europe Direct Centers of Baden-Württemberg are now inviting you to an online exchange with experts from business and politics on Tuesday, October 21, at 6 pm.

After a welcome address by Marleen Keller from e-mobil BW, who will also act as moderator, Nicklas will explain the EU's next steps in the transformation of the automotive industry. Arnold will use the example of Schwäbisch Gmünd to report on the challenges and opportunities currently facing automotive regions.
