Driving Vision News have decided to engage Tier 2 suppliers about their capacity to contribute developing automotive lighting innovations, well aligned with the OEM needs and development roadmaps.
The 3rd DVN Workshop will represent an opportunity for leading car makers and Tier 1 global lighting suppliers to challenge Tier 2 suppliers and identify innovation tasks for the lighting tiers to develop.
At this date, 9 automakers, 8 Tier-1 lighting suppliers, and 20 Tier-2 suppliers, all active DVN Gold Members, have confirmed the attendance of 50 of their highest rank experts and managers. We expect to have 10 more companies and a total of 60 participants.
Beside car makers and Tier 1 lighting suppliers, all core businesses involving cutting-edge Tier 2 suppliers are involved: Light sources, Electronics, Components, Software, Materials, and test equipments.
– In the morning, lectures will be done by car makers and lighting suppliers about their outlook on lighting 2011-2020 and their expectations from suppliers.
– In the afternoon, 6 round tables gathering each 10 lighting players will each focus on a particular core business and allow free exchanges between suppliers and their potential customers.
On the evening before the workshop, DVN will present the “2010 DVN lighting winners” during a typical French buffet in a wonderful place close to the Eiffel Tower.
Looking forward meeting you
