Two-day virtual summit will look at how automakers are leveraging cutting-edge technology and new business models to build an ecosystem that advances the idea of a decarbonized, clean energy future
Climate change threats highlight the need to accelerate sustainability agendas. Nowhere is this more urgent than in the mobility industry, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the world’s global greenhouse gas emissions. Innovation-led, technology-driven initiatives are now seeking to decarbonize transport as countries work to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Frost & Sullivan’s flagship Intelligent Mobility Summit 2022, “Towards a Sustainable Future,” will take a deep-dive into the sustainability journey while assessing the trends, growth opportunities and challenges accompanying this transformation.
The 14th edition of our annual summit will be hosted online September 7-8 in APAC, Middle East and Europe. “The widespread and unacceptable impacts of transport-related emissions demand that we reassess the very idea and scope of ‘sustainability.’ Indeed, stakeholders are increasingly embedding sustainable practices into every aspect of the mobility value chain, from sourcing and product design to manufacturing and marketing. Creative strategies, disruptive technologies, and new business models are advancing the mobility industry’s push towards a clean energy economy, even while driving competitive differentiation,” says Darrell Huntsman, CEO of Frost & Sullivan.
This year’s Intelligent Mobility Summit will bring together business leaders, industry experts and representatives from across the mobility spectrum. Attendees will include automotive manufacturers, technology companies, infrastructure providers, fleet operators, logistics firms, investment firms, and new mobility companies, among others. A series of curated panel discussions and keynote speeches will delve into the how, where, which, why, and when of the mobility industry’s evolution towards an economically and environmentally coherent future.
Key agenda topics will spotlight:
• Zero-Emission Vehicles: Decarbonization Driving Sustainable Mobility
