Automotive Trend Forum
This international science and economic congress focuses on the latest trends in automotive sales and marketing. The whole-day event is held at CongressPark Wolfsburg. Approximately 600 international Automotive Trend Forum participants in Wolfsburg come from business and science. Top experts from all over the world present the latest studies, examples of best-practice and offer solutions for your specific problems. All lectures on 06.-07. October 2021 will be translated simultaneously. In addition to numerous managers from the Volkswagen Group, guests also include participants from other automotive manufacturers, the supply industry, the automotive trade, medium-sized businesses and importers. The science representatives are mainly professors, employees and students of the Ostfalia University or our partner universities abroad.

Greetings from Dr. Christian Dahlheim
Automotive companies are in the middle of a transformation process. New competitors are entering the market, new technologies are enabling new forms of mobility, and customer needs are changing, especially in the wake of digitalization. At the same time regulation and the demand for sustainable mobility is increasing.
The subject of the upcoming Automotive Trend Forum “Mobility Changes” is highly topical in 2021, as the transformation of our industry continues. Driving assistance systems are constantly developing and are available to us at a high level of maturity. Autonomous cars are dependent on networking with their environment. In New Mobility, we are no longer exclusively dealing with our product, the automobile, but with mobility in its entirety.
In addition to the product itself, the relationship between brand and customer is also changing. Automotive companies are addressing their customers directly and digitally. At the same time personal advice is still an essential point of contact to the customer. In the future successful automobile companies will be able to offer their customers a holistic and individual mobility package in which the car, but not necessarily its ownership, has its place.
The Automotive Trend Forum is a valuable opportunity to think outside the box and serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas between all stakeholders of New Mobility. As patron of the ATF 2021, I cordially invite you to discuss tomorrow’s mobility with us and I look forward to welcoming you in Wolfsburg on 06 & 07 October 2021.
