Join us online on Friday, November 27, 2020, for the CEIBS Insights 6th Europe Forum series Germany forum on the theme of Paradigm Shift: The Future of the Global Mobility Industry.

Introduction

The deepening of trade and economic ties between China – the world’s largest manufacturer – and Germany – a long-established manufacturing powerhouse – has fostered increased cooperation in the manufacturing industry, especially in the automotive sector. According to statistics, Chinese companies’ investment in the German auto industry made up 15% of their total investment in Germany in the past decade.

At the same time, the robustness of German cars sales in China this year stands in sharp contrast to generally sluggish demand in the international auto market as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Globally, the auto industry is rapidly brewing up a storm of change, partly in response to the shock of the pandemic and partly due to the industry’s transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to smart electric vehicles.

Given the promising prospects for China-Germany cooperation in the auto industry, how should the two sides give full play to their respective advantages and play the role of game changers to seek win-win results and provide new impetus for their next round of economic collaboration?

At the CEIBS Insights 6th Europe Forum series Germany forum 2020, experts, scholars, and entrepreneurs from China and Germany will discuss the roadmap and opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in the automotive industry.
