Shaping the Future of Automotive Transformation in Central Europe
The European automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation – from electrification and autonomous driving to connected vehicles and emerging platform-based business models.
With the Drive2Transform Policy Forum 2026, we aim to bring together policymakers from across Central Europe to discuss current developments, strategic needs and future opportunities in these key transformation fields.
The Forum will open with an insight into the Interreg Drive2Transform project, including highlights from our Transformation Readiness Index, based on interviews with 144 companies across nine regions. These findings provide a clear picture of where stakeholders stand today and what support is required to navigate the transition ahead.
Participants will also benefit from two presentations:
Key Speakers
- Tobias Gotthardt, Vice Minister at the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy
- Peter Knap, EY Consulting
Following the presentations, the session will offer space for an open exchange between policymakers and practitioners, focusing on shared challenges and possible ways forward.
We are looking forward to your participation!
