2025 certainly hit the ground running; a lot of things have happened all over the world. CES (we just published the report this week), Bharat Mobility Global Expo in India (main takeaways in the newsletter and more details in a dedicated report), Automotive World in Japan (summary next week). We are now focusing on our first DVN event in 2025. This week you’ll see my talks with Sony and Nichia, who will both be participating. Next week’s focus will be on sustainability, and we’ll bring you interviews with Valeo, ams Osram, and Volvo Trucks—who will be part of the sustainability session in Munich.
It is time to vote for the DVN Awards. There are six categories this year; find descriptions and candidates in this week’s in-depth piece. Please cast your vote by the deadline, which is next Tuesday (11th February).
The award ceremony will be held at the DVN event in Munich on the evening of 19th February, just before the cocktail hour. More than 300 people are already registered, and we estimate 500 participants. If you haven’t already done so, come sign up to reserve your spot! I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
