After two and a half years, the Drive2Transform consortium meets in Regensburg for the final time. Nine partners from eight Central European countries close a project that ran from June 2024 to November 2026 and examined how automotive regions, suppliers and business support organisations prepare for electromobility, autonomous driving, connectivity and the platform economy.
The closing event brings the results into the room — and into the plant: Day 1 presents the project outcomes and includes a reception with the Mayor of the City of Regensburg together with representatives of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs. Day 2 closes the project where transformation actually happens, on a battery module production line.
