The 4th DVN Interior Workshop happened last week in Köln, with the rubric Interior of the Future: New Features and Emerging Technologies.
The docket was impressive: three keynotes; 31 lectures; design and sustainability panel discussions, very productive Q&As with real-time participation facilitated by the Slido app, and more. Major automakers including Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, and Stellantis shared their views on the future of interiors—including HMI, interior lighting, materials, and design. A session devoted to seating included majors such as Adient and Forvia, and technology suppliers including L&P and Grewus. The HMI and interior lighting sessions included Valeo, Marelli, Continental, Antolin, AMS Osram, Seoul Semiconductors, and many others. New companies were there, such as Ceres Holographics, Seaborough, and Feno. And key material suppliers participated in the show-and-tell, such as Dow Chemicals, Mocom, and Delo.
It was a terrific opportunity for networking, to make new contacts and renew and reinforce existing ones: 170 attendees, representing approximately 80 companies, 12 sponsor-exhibitors, and all the newest innovations on display in the expo booths.
We can’t wait until the next event, in Torino, Italy this October, with the rubric Mobility and Sustainable Interior Design. Keep reading your DVN-I Newsletter for more details as they develop!
Sincerely yours,
