The first Future Interior Summit 2018 took place on 20/21 October in Böblingen, the successor to the SV Conference “Automotive Interior”.

With the megatrends of mobility – electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity and car sharing – traditional values are shifting. Thanks to innovative technologies, the desire for individuality, comfort and quality of life is finding new fields of play – especially in the interiors of tomorrow’s vehicles. Understanding customers’ needs in these areas and offering them convincing solutions will determine future market success.

Exciting discussions about future trends were one of the main reasons for attending the conference. Like already in the last year new network partners for the FOresIght network could be won and also the awareness of the network was increased. Beside the specialized conference the company Bertrandt could be visited. We were able to gain good insights into the work of the service provider through the guided tour of the factory premises.
