Maifest 2018 - Mobility Edition

Maifest 2018 - Mobility Edition brings together industry-leading Bavarian & German multinational corporations and innovative growth-stage tech companies to network and collaborate about the Future of Mobility, primarily Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), Electric Vehicles (EVs), Connected Car, urban mobility, fleets, TNCs/ridesharing, and logistics.

Senior executives from German companies responsible for corporate venturing, R&D, strategy, and digital innovation primarily in the Automotive & Mobility space but also in Manufacturing, Logistics, Insurance, Telecommunications, Cybersecurity, and Energy & Infrastructure will outline how they collaborate with technology companies in shaping the Future of Mobility.
