ESI LIVE’s Automotive track features industry leaders from top companies including Bentley, Ford, Audi, University Wuppertal, Deloitte and Future Matters. Witness how automakers have started pivoting away from single-point numerical simulation to 100% Virtual Prototyping: they design, engineer, manufacture, assemble and test a new vehicle concept fully virtually – reducing scrap and emissions while introducing more agile and safe operations with a strong focus on the well-being of humans. Getting sustainable practices right, virtually, is the only way forward.
