Topic: “Automotive digital transformation and impact on the value chain”

In recent years, the emergence of digital technology have allowed the growth of new tech giants such as Google, Facebook, but also Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent in China. Society is now changing their consumer model to be more oriented toward a services rather than the ownership of a good. Mobility services are forecasted to grow tremendously in the coming year as opposed to automotive market which is slowing down in every country where it has already reached over capacity. As the value is transferring from the product to the service, what does it mean for the current automotive value chain? How will the transformation impact the OEM and their Tier 1? What are the initiatives of all the players to reposition their product and activity in order to remain during the areas of autonomous vehicle?
