We are pleased to invite you to join the first conference organised by the Automotive Skills Alliance, which will be held on September 29.-30. in Stuttgart.

The event, promoted by the ASA partner Stuttgart Region, together with its Economic Development Corporation (WRS GmbH), will focus on upskilling and reskilling activities and needs in the automotive-mobility ecosystem at the European level. It is the first face-to-face conference of the Automotive Skills Alliance, which is a Large-scale, Europe-wide, and Stakeholder-wide Pact for Skills Partnership focused on the up-/re-skilling activities in Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem. 

This two-day event will host discussions around the current challenges on the skills agenda, including the views from the various actors involved. Two workshops will be organised to address challenges and discuss possible cooperation on a variety of topics, including the regional implementation, wide-stakeholder cooperation, skills intelligence and life-long learning, among many others.

The conference will provide opportunities for stakeholders to connect with others from industry, academia, educational institutions and regions and to learn and share best practices and experiences from their work on reskilling and upskilling.

Participation is free of charge, but early registration is recommended due to the limited number of seats
