The Drive West Midlands Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CAV): Developing the UK Supply Chain will be hosted at HORIBA MIRA and is being put together in partnership with the Knowledge Transfer Network, with support from Cenex and AESIN. The one-day event will seek to bring industry experts and academics together to explore how the UK can capitalise on the knowledge, products and research already being conducted in the connected and autonomous vehicle field. Seminars and networking breaks will allow facilitated discussion to define the supply chain development, innovation and skills needed to place the UK, and specifically the West Midlands, as a competitive player within Europe and globally for Advanced Driver Assistance Devices (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles. Organisations will also be offered the opportunity to pitch their goals, objectives and the contribution they can make to the supply chain and innovation development needed in order to foster potential partnerships and consortiums to accelerate activity in the UK.
