It feels to me that we are all trying to achieve a common goal which is build a better future, but we are all approaching it from different perspectives or a different angle; so having these shows to bring different companies together is fantastic.

Having all of these four shows together really enables that conversation around innovation. That is what an event like this can really do: spark the conversations, make the connections in an industry where innovation is everything.

It helps to have a focused area where persons involved in the next generation of EVs can come together and meet multiple sectors, material as well as part design, automation and validation, so I think it's really key to bring all those areas together.

It's been fantastic to see the younger generation come through and discussing and looking at our products. That to me is a very big benefit, especially for the future. We're just taking this journey for the battery and EV systems, and it's them there are really going to implement it and carry us through to the next level.
