Steffi Lemke, Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection, spoke on a panel about the responsible, climate-neutral and resource-saving future of the automotive industry.  Together with representatives of BMW and the University of St. Gallen, she discussed what leverage is needed to make sustainable mobility possible. This included topics such as recycling and the closed-loop economy.    

In order to successfully implement sustainable mobility, it is necessary to connect different modes of transportation. But how can bicycles, cars and trains benefit from each other and grow together, and what needs to come from politics to make this happen?  VDA Managing Director Andreas Rade spoke with representatives of public transport and Zukunft Fahrrad.    

Accenture also hosted a panel discussion on three future scenarios for the mobility of the future. Pioneering solutions from the fields of technology, politics and business were presented. New value creation opportunities in vehicle design, charging experience and urban planning were also explored.   

The EIT Urban Mobility organization hosted a debate on the environmental impact of electric car batteries. For example, the increasing global demand for batteries brings with it the challenge of minimizing environmental impact by making batteries sustainable throughout their lifecycle. During the discussion, participants looked for solutions.    

In a keynote speech, holoride CEO Nils Wollny showed how his company creates immersive experiences in the mobility sector and what opportunities in-car entertainment will offer in the future. The Munich-based startup aims to create "theme parks" on wheels by using XR technology with real-time motion and location data from moving vehicles.
