From a half-century of manufacturing excellence: innovations that support an intelligent future

Innovation comes in unique forms. It is realized through experience, foresight and patience. The creation of a research institute to germinate technological breakthroughs three to seven years ahead is one form. Reimagining an industry electrified by taking a page from one that revolutionized how people live is another form. Drawing on the half-century experience of a leader in technology manufacturing excellence, this keynote identifies some technology and business innovations supporting an intelligent future in electromobility and in manufacturing and urban ecosystems. “Build. Operate. Localize” grows communities. “Contract Design and Manufacturing Service” raises automotive competitiveness. Transformation into a platform solutions provider is knowing hardware plus software. Underpinning all the innovations is the need for semiconductors.
