Events

09:00 | 13:00 - INAUGURAL CONFERENCE

Motor Valley Fest 2024, now in its sixth year, takes place in a post-pandemic context with complex geopolitical challenges.
China remains a leader in the global automotive market, driven by the green transition in Europe.
The European sector, although growing, faces intensified competition, especially from China in hybrid and electric cars.
The luxury and high-performance market in the Motor Valley shows resilience, with, on the one hand, the expansion of Artificial Intelligence, autonomous driving, and Software Defined Vehicles, and on the other, a major effort in sustainability.

The year 2024, with important global elections, will define the guidelines for the green transition.

The inaugural Motor Valley Fest conference will feature talks by McKinsey, Google and Bosch, Azimut, and Pirelli covering topics such as sustainability, the luxury market, and generative AI.
This will be followed by the important panel discussion featuring major Motor Valley brands Automobili Lamborghini, Dallara, Ducati, Energica Motor Company, Ferrari, PaganiĀ and Maserati.
