Stuttgart International Symposium on Automotive and Engine Technology
For many years, the Stuttgart International Symposium on Automotive and Engine Technology has been one of the largest specialist congresses on automotive and powertrain development in Europe and one of the most important industry meetings in the automotive industry. Experts and managers from industry and research come together to discuss the latest developments and current research findings.
The 2025 Stuttgart International Symposium with its topic “Automotive Vision: Design, Technology and Sustainability” took place at the Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart on July 2nd and 3rd. Around 400 participants seized the opportunity to exchange ideas on the latest developments and challenges facing the mobility industry during 80 specialist presentations and 20 five-minute pitches, as well as an accompanying trade exhibition.
Particular focus was given to the four keynote speeches delivered by leading industry representatives:
- Franz Loogen, President of e-mobil BW
- Florian Bankoley, Chief Digital Officer, Bosch Mobility Company
- Dr. Michael Steiner, Vice Chairman of the Executive Board, Porsche AG
- Dr. Torsten Eder, Vice President Electrified Drive Systems, Mercedes-Benz AG
The panel discussion on “How Can the German Automotive Industry Succeed in Global Competition?” was another highlight. Representatives from Porsche, VDA, Horse Powertrain, Daimler Truck AG, and BYD discussed perspectives and strategies in international competition.
Other highlights included business speed dating and a networking event in the heart of Stuttgart on the evening of the first day of the conference.
With its diverse program, high-profile speakers, and lively professional exchange, the 2025 Stuttgart International Symposium once again demonstrated how important dialogue between research and practice is for the future of mobility.
The contributions of the symposium are published in a conference volume by Springer. Papers that are peer-reviewed by SAE were published through the organisation.
