Meet peers at the Pre-Event Networking Seminar

April 1 2019

Here you have a possibility to explore two different ways of seeing how Gothenburg works within the automotive sector. Take the chance to get inspired by how ideas and knowledge are transformed into reality through many projects. To see these special projects in person is the best way to find out more about the solutions the region can offer you.

Meet the experts at the site visits, and get a chance to create new business contacts. Hopefully you will get more perspectives to take home – and even more innovative ideas than before. There is also a pre-event networking seminar where you can get to know the regional Automotive cluster and network and the many interesting people associated with this industry.
