Australia’s changing automotive industry – challenges, diversity and opportunities facing the Australian marketplace

FISITA and the Society of Mobility Engineers – Australasia (SME-A) invite you to a free webinar featuring a keynote followed by an expert roundtable, bringing together leading voices from the Australian automotive industry.

In the keynote, Bernie Quinn, CEO of Premcar, shares his first-hand experience of the journey since volume vehicle manufacturing closed in Australia: the impact of the transition, the emotions surrounding the exit of a major sector, and the resilience of the engineers determined to shape a new future for automotive manufacturing in Australia. He'll also cover future market trends and opportunities.

The roundtable that follows brings together experts from across the industry for diverse perspectives on the challenges and emerging opportunities in the Australian mobility landscape.
