Be part of an exclusive live webinar series inspired by our automotive white paperS!
Is China the new global leader in automotive innovation? Absolutely. Chinese automakers have taken the lead by shrinking time-to-market, refining sensor technologies, focusing on development of home-grown semiconductors, and by trimming costs for both overall vehicle and EV batteries. Yole Group has been tracking native technology content in Chinese vehicles for over a decade. Yole analysts will share their data, findings and predictions about how China is about to reshape the automotive world.

Join Yole Group and the experts to decode the trends, challenges, and regional dynamics shaping this high-stakes industry.
During the webinar, let’s explore:
