Enriching and promising exchanges… for future cross-border collaborations!
The webinar
In the morning, the webinar dedicated to the automotive industry and mobility in the Greater Region brought together 110 participants.
4 major themes around new challenges for the industry were discussed:
- How have states and governments managed the COVID crisis?
- Is electrification too fast?
- How to adapt the industry to these rapid changes?
- Are the new mobilities an opportunity?
Some statements…

- “The territory of the Greater Region is the relevant territory for the major transformations in mobility to take place.” Lilla Merabet, Vice-President of the Grand Est Region
