At VECS 2026, the exhibition floor is more than just a place to meet – it becomes a space to learn, discuss, and be inspired. Introducing The Knowledge Hub: a dynamic, open stage designed to bring fresh perspectives, real-time insights, and engaging conversations directly into the heart of the event.

Positioned as a “speakers’ corner” within the exhibition, The Knowledge Hub offers visitors the opportunity to take a break from the stands and dive into short, high-impact sessions led by industry experts, innovators, and thought leaders. With a format built for accessibility and spontaneity, it’s the perfect place to discover new ideas without leaving the buzz of the exhibition behind.

Across both days, the program covers a wide range of timely topics shaping the automotive industry. From an opening introduction by Cybercampus Sverige, the Hub will host everything from a live podcast with omEV to deep dives into cutting-edge themes such as confidential computing and trusted data collaboration, presented by MobilityXlab. Attendees can also gain valuable global perspectives from Business Sweden, with sessions exploring macro trends in the Indian automotive market and geopolitical influences impacting the industry worldwide.

On day two, the focus continues with insights into how geopolitics is reshaping the automotive landscape, followed by a closer look at the US market, including key policies and the current state of autonomous driving. The program once again features a live podcast session, bringing an interactive and conversational element to the stage.
