I N N O VAT I N G T O Z E R O
JULY 14 th & 15 th , 2021
The past few years have been extremely challenging for the mobility industry. Stakeholders have struggled with
intensifying competition, global economic slowdowns and depressed consumer demand. C.A.S.E.—Connectivity,
Autonomous Driving, Mobility Services (including Shared) and Electrification—has unleashed disruption across the
ecosystem. The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated this process of transformation, while offering stakeholders the
opportunity to reset their future in the direction of sustainable models of innovation-led growth. In keeping with
such trends, the theme for Intelligent Mobility Summit 2021 is “Innovating to Zero.”
Steep declines in oil prices induced by the crisis were expected to weaken electrification roadmaps. However,
lockdowns in various countries underscored the perils of poor air quality, adding impetus to pre-pandemic initiatives
focused on renewable, green energy. Accordingly, Electrification and Autonomous trends gained momentum,
although concerns over infection risks negatively impacted the sharing economy. Players responded nimbly, adopting
flexible delivery-of-everything business models.
As the “new normal” continues to unfold, the vision of “Innovating to Zero”—Zero emission vehicles, Zero waste,
Zero accidents, Zero defects, and Zero carbon emissions—will pick up pace. Electric vehicles will spearhead the
drive towards cleaner, carbon-free mobility on the back of advances in charging infrastructure and novel battery
technologies like solid state batteries. This will be reinforced by new models like battery swapping and pioneering
platform architectures like the dedicated skateboard platform. Simultaneously, cost, technological and infrastructure
breakthroughs will spotlight hydrogen’s potential as the fuel of the future. The mainstreaming of hydrogen
applications in the carbon-intensive automotive industry will address concerns over climate change threats.
Hydrogen fuel cell and infrastructure development will catalyze the transition to a sustainable energy economy.
Meanwhile, autonomous vehicle development will focus on innovating towards a future of zero accidents and zero
fatalities. Connectivity will similarly support safer driving experiences and improved vehicle performance, while
enabling a range of in-vehicle services.
Efforts to align revenue/profit imperatives with sustainability goals will be anchored in circular economy concepts.
“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” practices will target carbon neutrality and zero waste. Shared models like ride-hailing,
car-sharing and Mobility as a Service will promote higher vehicle utilization and more responsible resource
consumption.
We invite you to join industry thought leaders, policymakers, investors and innovators to discuss emerging trends,
new business models and growth strategies. This complementary, virtual two-day event will address the complex
challenges and opportunities awaiting the mobility industry.
Unique event sponsorships are available to partners seeking the opportunity to gain exposure with a global
community and showcase products, services and expertise to help organization in these times of transformational
change in the mobility industry.
