STARTUP AUTOBAHN EXPO2024 showcases over 30 pilot collaborations between startups and mobility leaders

STARTUP AUTOBAHN’s flagship EXPO event returns on June 6, 2024, for its 13th edition, to showcase over 30 pilot projects jointly developed by startups and industry giants in mobility, production, enterprise, and sustainability.

STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play is an innovation platform that unites the unrivaled tech expertise of Silicon Valley and the best of German engineering. Just like the German highway — the “Autobahn” — the only one in the world without a speed limit, STARTUP AUTOBAHN accelerates connections between industry corporations and innovative startups. The results of these collaborations are showcased at the annual EXPO, an invite-only conference showcasing technologies of the future and exposing the power of corporate-startup innovation.

Change”, the event’s agenda has been carefully curated to address the most pressing challenges of the mobility industry: Generative AI, Transition to E-Mobility, Sustainability in Heavy Duty, the Role of Data in Circular Economy, Collaborative Innovation, the Role of AI in Sustainability, and more. 

The agenda includes inspiring keynote speeches by board members and industry leaders, panel discussions, expert roundtables, innovation walks, startup pitches, an exclusive demo of selected pilot projects, and several side events.
