Staying powerful: accelerating a successful transition in automotive regions

This policy debate will feature high‐ranking representatives from the Automotive Regions Alliance (ARA), the Automotive Skills Alliance (ASA), and the Committee of the Regions’ Automotive Intergroup (CoRAI). Under the inspiring theme ‘The Right to Stay: Unlocking the Potential of Every Territory’, the event offers an opportunity for stakeholders to exchange insights and shape the future of European automotive regions following the unveiling of the Automotive Action Plan. The debate will start with a keynote address by ARA chair Guido Guidesi, who will outline the outcomes of the ARA annual conference (to be held alongside the IAA in Munich in September) and present the adopted declaration.
