CAR IT Symposium 2026

AI is taking the wheel in shaping the future of automotive innovation.
 
Artificial Intelligence is not simply an add-on to the automotive industry – it is
becoming the driving force behind its reinvention. While autonomous driving
continues to capture public attention, AI is already transforming every dimension of
the mobility value chain: from research and engineering, to manufacturing and supply
networks, all the way to the customer journey and entirely new mobility ecosystems.
 
Success in tomorrow’s highly competitive global market will depend on how deeply
and intelligently organizations can embed AI into their core. What was lately a quite
common slogan “AI is everywhere” is now rapidly becoming the foundation of
business models, efficiency gains, and breakthrough customer experiences. For
executives across the industry, understanding the opportunities and challenges of AI
is no longer optional; it is a leadership imperative.
 
At the Car IT Symposium 2026, we will dedicate two days to exploring how AI is
reshaping this industry at every level:
 
 Day 1: A strategic deep dive into how AI is revolutionizing value creation in
automotive; reshaping operations, business models, and competitiveness in a
fast-changing global landscape
 Day 2: A forward-looking exploration of the AI-powered innovations that will
soon define mobility; from intelligent vehicles, and connected services to new
in-car experiences that customers will see, feel, and expect
This CAR IT Symposium will again unite top executives from OEMs and Tier 1
suppliers with technology leaders, telecom providers, disruptors, start-ups, investors,
and policymakers. Again, co-hosted by our partner, VAIVA. Together, we will spark
dialogue, forge partnerships, and chart the roadmaps that will define the next era of
mobility
