Automotive
In automotive, it’s no longer enough to focus purely on streamlining production lines or making improvements to efficiency. The industry is undergoing intense transformation, demanding a radical change in approach. The rapid rise of next generation vehicles driven by software (SDVs) and battery technology (BEVs) – as well as other innovations originating from sectors such as telecoms, media and clean energy – means businesses that fail to adapt risk falling behind.
