The conference was held in Novi Sad in the business hall called “Master Center”.
Southeast Europe is becoming increasingly important region in terms of the automotive industry, in which the largest car manufacturers (OEM companies) and their major suppliers (TIER1 companies) operate for quite a long time. Also, the base of potential suppliers, who could supply the large companies with their products, is constantly increasing.
Automotive Cluster of Serbia has decided, after a few relatively small but undoubtedly successfully held conferences, to organize a major conference, that would cover the whole region of South Eastern Europe, in order to further encourage the development of the automobile and related industries.
The main topics of the conference were:
• Overview of the automotive industry - trends and future plans of OEMs and Tier 1&2 companies
• Doing business in Southeast Europe
• Procurement - Challenges and Opportunities for suppliers from South-East Europe
• Research and development and innovation potential in the region (ICT)
• B2B meetings
The invitation to participate as speakers has been accepted by the representatives of major OEM and Tier 1 companies: FIAT Automobiles Serbia, BMW, VW Federal Mogul, TPV, AD Plastik, Magna, and Grammer System. The future of the automotive industry has been presented by: Robert Bosch, Infineon Technologies, RT-RK, FTN, yet new materials that are being developed for the automobile and other industries have been presented by the Evonik company.
Their services and opportunities for cooperation have been presented by: ERSTE Bank, GEBRÜDER WEISS, Schoeller Allibert, Invenio, and Mitsubishi Electric Europe.
