How can Business Support Organizations (BSOs) provide the physical and strategic backbone for the automotive transition?
This second online training session in the Drive2Transform series shifts the focus from networking to the tangible assets and specialized services driving the industry forward. The event is designed as an interactive online exchange, offering practical insights and space for discussion among peers.
Modern infrastructure is no longer limited to physical facilities — it is a platform for advanced technological services, research collaboration, and industrial transformation. During the session, participants will explore practical approaches to designing and managing infrastructure-based services that create measurable value for companies and research partners.
Topics covered:
- Autonomous driving test plants and validation environments
- AI model training infrastructure
