Why attend?
In the past decade, both India and China have become major players in the global marketplace. Within the first five months of 2008 alone, automotive sales rose 17.41% over the same period a year earlier in China. India has also seen substantial growth, with an estimated 25 million new jobs created by the automotive industry by 2016. This dramatic growth has changed the landscape of the global automotive market. New customer bases, infrastructure challenges, strategic operations and energy consumption have all become predominant rapid expansion topics. The automotive industry will become the engine of continued growth in India and China and it will be crucial for all stakeholders within the industry to grasp the future impact of this economic and societal shift.
This Briefing will provide a timely opportunity for marketers, consultants, research and development houses, energy suppliers, component manufacturers, OEMs, industry stakeholders and policymakers to discuss the latest developments in automotive business expansion into India and China. Furthermore, delegates will discuss how the automotive industry can develop and adopt a beneficial competitive strategy that harnesses the untapped potential of these markets. Delegates will have the opportunity to network, share ideas and discuss business development initiatives with delegates and speakers alike in an informal atmosphere.
This special one-day Briefing will take place at One Birdcage Walk located in the heart of Westminster, with morning refreshments to be followed by a networking lunch and drinks reception at the end of proceedings.
