leading companies Hybrid vehicles, low-cost cars or the i-car: The focal
points of the talks during the electronica automotive conference were the key
topics in the automobile electronics sector. 250 delegates from 23 countries
attended the conference, which was held in Munich on 10 and 11 November 2008 as part of
electronica 2008. In addition to Germany,
an above-average number of visitors came from the USA,
Japan, Italy, the Netherlands
and Sweden.
The speakers came from internationally leading
companies – from automobile manufacturers and their component suppliers through
to electronics companies themselves. The conference agenda was put together by
a committee comprising first-class experts. Conference Chair Peter Gresch from
Tyco Electronics AMP was very satisfied with the outcome of the event: “With
250 delegates from 23 countries and 32 speakers from the entire value-added
chain of automobile electronics, the second ‘Electronics meets Automotive’
conference also more than fulfilled its expectations.” These are ideal starting
conditions for when the conference is next staged.
By combining the electronica automotive conference
with electronica, Messe München has created a unique worldwide event for the
automobile electronics sector at which the current challenges facing automobile
electronics are presented and discussed internationally by automobile
manufacturers, their component suppliers and electronics companies. The
conference is also unique in the world because it has an international
character and is closely linked to electronica, the world’s leading trade fair
for the electronics industry. These links include the automotive forum, which
is strongly geared towards software, and the comprehensive exhibition by
technology leaders in the automobile electronics sector. Around 1,200 companies
presented products and applications relating to automobile electronics.
The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers'
Association (ZVEI) was very closely involved in the compilation of the
conference agenda and the organization of the electronica automotive forum.
