We are constantly updating the program with thought-provoking panels and inspiring keynotes around the topic of the digitally connected EV ecosystem. All times are in Central European Summer Time.
Now more than ever the EV charging industry is expanding, and new players are entering the market. Creating a business model for eMobility that is not only sustainable long-term but also scales well as the ecosystem grows is a matter of analyzing where others have succeeded – and failed – in the past. To dive deep into the DNA of eMobility, we must look at its passionate leaders, and ask them: What are your key takeaways from the last years? And what will the main drivers and challenges in the coming years be?
Who pushes EV adoption forward? When it comes to setting up the infrastructure of the future, there is no one more important than the customer, whether from a business or consumer perspective. Stakeholders strive towards the creation of an exceptional customer experience since inconsistency leads to frustration and loss of satisfaction on the user’s side. As an emerging and incredibly crucial industry, eMobility cannot afford this. This panel will focus on the dos and don'ts of digitalising the customer experience, based on the experiences and approaches of industry leaders. We will take stock of the EV ecosystem and the B2C and B2B relationships that created currently existing customer journeys to imagine an ideal infrastructure for the future.
Global EV adoption is accelerating at a rapid pace and continues to outperform various industry forecasts. To support the rapid uptake in EV demand, the need for reliable global EV charging solutions and infrastructure is greater than ever. Over the past months, investments in EV charging infrastructure have increased significantly, and the domain has attracted investments from renowned infrastructure funds. What business models and conditions are attractive for long-term investors. What is needed in terms of capital and resources to bridge the gap between EV adoption and the availability of reliable EV charging solutions? And what opportunities does the domain present?
Moderated by Daniel Lyons, the investment panel hosted by IMPROVED will provide unique insights into these highly relevant topics
Charging businesses are diversifying! Only a few years ago, a CPO had a focused business model. As EV technology matured, business models have transformed increasingly complex to match the demands of the developing electric infrastructure, its users, and customers. We are looking into the opportunities and challenges of different business approaches that lie in the future of our ever more complex and rewarding electric transportation system.
What is the progress of electrification on the global stage? As an increasing number of countries set their goals to reduce carbon emissions, eMobility is beginning to replace ICE-transportation. But due to differences in market structures, customer habits, regulatory frameworks and even simple geography, each country is facing its own challenge in setting up a productive and accessible EV infrastructure. We will be assessing the blockers and accelerators of international EV charging by identifying the key success factors of international eMobility leaders.
Start-ups play a pivotal role in the eMobility industry. They are the ones coming up with new concepts and business models based on emerging technologies. However crucial their role is, we know that establishing oneself in eMobility is difficult. Therefore, we are bringing back the Hubject eMobility Start-up Award for the third year in a row: to function as a stage for start-ups given the chance to present their vision to ICNC22 attendees.
