As we entered 2020, the Automotive sector was already facing a challenging year– two successive years of degrowth and disruption in the business models due to the technological advances in connected and autonomous cars.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has taken an already challenging situation to a different level. There are new disruptions across both supply and demand at a global scale and at an unprecedented speed.

The automotive industry will need to gear-up to navigate in a new normal. Looking ahead, how can the automotive industry turn crisis into opportunity?

The European Chamber is pleased to welcome you to a webinar where speakers will discuss post COVID-19 trends in the automotive sector and some actions companies in the sector or who work with this sector may want to consider.
