At this year's CES in Las Vegas, the high-tech industry showcased breakthrough technologies and their critical role in shaping the software-defined vehicle. While much attention is being paid to the OEM market, the impact on the aftermarket is equally transformative.

In our panel discussion organized jointly with Automechanika under the motto "How Tech is Driving the Future of Mobility" leading representatives from the industry discussed this exciting interface between technology and mobility. 

• Kim Fischer (MetaDesign) shared her insights on the future of mobility from a design perspective. 

• Tobias Wessels (Helm.ai) and Werner Happenhofer (Goodyear) provided forward-looking insights into technological innovations that are driving change. 

• Sarah Lindsey (Automechanika) explained how new technologies will revolutionize the automotive aftermarket. 

This panel discussion not only shed light on the trends shaping this industry, but also laid the foundation for Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, where these topics will be further developed.
