"The automobile of tomorrow: the convergence of so many expectations".

The automotive market,
Between the Chinese hammer and the Brussels anvil

François Provost, Chief Procurement, Partnership & Public Affairs Officer, Renault

Thomas Morel, Managing Partner, McKinsey

Moderated by Michel Forissier, Former Chief Engineering & Marketing Officer, Valeo

In September 2017, X-Auto organized the first conference in its cycle on the then-anticipated ACES (Autonomous / Connected / Electrified / Shared) transformation of the automobile. Seven years later, the automotive sector has gone through its share of transformations, marked by electrification, ADAS, Software Defined Vehicle, sustainable development, COVID and the major rise of China, not quite as expected a few years earlier.

François Provost will share his experience and his vision of the evolving impact of China.
Thomas Morel will present the major challenges facing the sector and the growing importance of China in the global automotive landscape.

The ensuing debate will provide an opportunity to :

• Decipher the major trends shaping the automotive industry
• Understand China's impact on the global market
• Debate the future of mobility

X-Auto, with the support of the Auto and Mobility Clubs of the Grandes Ecoles, invites you to attend this face-to-face debate/conference, on Monday May 13, 2024, from 7:30 pm to 9 pm, at the Maison des Polytechniciens, 12 rue de Poitiers, Paris 7e.

The session will also be available live-streamed on Zoom.
