Autopromotec 2022 not only offers a journey into the heart of the automotive aftermarket, with its latest innovations, but also a detailed look into the future, by analysing and comparing the trends that characterise the sector. For each operator, visiting Autopromotec is an opportunity for keeping up to date from a technological and professional point of view, through an exclusive overview of the latest products, technologies and services that are presented directly by the market leaders and through the detailed analysis and exchange of ideas offered by the numerous workshops and conferences that have been scheduled.
It is on these foundations that FUTURMOTIVE Experience – Talks – Startups was created, the initiative with which Autopromotec, in collaboration with ICE Agenzia, guides the visitors through the event and, more generally, through the disruptive trends that characterise the mobility supply chain: from the sector’s transition towards ecological sustainability, to the digitization of all aspects of the system, to the new economic models that are emerging. The initiative has 3 different formats, which accompany the visitor during their visit to the event. In the four-sided portico at the entrance to the fair at the BolognaFiere exhibition centre, the visitor is catapulted immediately into the depths of technological evolution, thanks to FUTURMOTIVE Experience. Through an immersive experience of images, lights, sound and words, this spectacular installation focuses on the most important trends for the business of the future. From depiction to tangible insight: FUTURMOTIVE Experience converges into FUTURMOTIVE Talks, the extensive programme of international conferences and workshops, which has always been a characteristic feature of Autopromotec. The 2022 edition will also cover the most relevant issues regarding the sector, bringing together some of the greatest leaders in technological innovation, with specific opportunities that offer in-depth analysis and the exchange of ideas. Among these, the 6 international and European focus workshops of the IAM – International Aftermarket Meetings cycle stand out. The Autopromotec initiative dedicated to innovation in the sector is completed with FUTURMOTIVE Startups, in collaboration with Motor Valley Fest of Modena, thanks to which several start-ups present their innovative proposals that fit into the flow of the automotive aftermarket sector.
