Place: Main stage
How have EVs revolutionized tech and design in the car industry? What barriers exist for innovation and market entries? Electric cars have not just revolutionized how we fuel our transportation from using petrol to electricity, EVs have also completely changed technology and design in the mobility sector. But at the same time EV manufactures are experiencing many unforeseen regulatory barriers for entering various markets across the globe and the European market in particular.
In this main stage session Polestar, Rivian and Zeekr Technology Europe will enlighten you on their future and ideas of improving design and technology in their passenger cars.

Polestar has just launched Polestar 4, a car without a rear window and will talk about a future were we “don’t look back”. Hear from Beatrice Simonsson, Head of Product Management and Acting Head of Product & Program, Polestar.
