HIGHLIGHTS
"The challenges for the automotive industry and related sectors are immense and force it to act, because the mobility of tomorrow is to be multimodal, environmentally and climate compatible as well as highly digitalised. Here, as pilots, we must rely on understanding, foresight and openness to technology. I think it's beneficial to bring two perspectives to the transformation – the technological and the human."

POLIS MOBILITY CONFERENCE
In 2020, the automotive industry generated sales of around 380
billion euros and directly employed more than 800,000 people. It is
therefore of central importance for Germany as a business location. After many years of growth and steady internationalisation, it is now
undergoing a longer-term transformation. The associated effects also have a significant impact on Germany as an industrial location, whereby the effects on the individual federal states vary greatly. The
panel discussion "Transforming the Automotive Industry" will focus on the different ways in which the individual federal states are affec-
ted and the specific political implications associated with this.
