11 July 2019 - With the #automotive industry currently in the midst of change, #Hyundai Motor hosted an illuminating panel discussion about the future of a mobility provider at TOA Berlin.

TOA Berlin, Europe’s leading technology festival, took place on 4 July at Funkhaus Berlin. The panellists discussed the current challenges automakers like #Hyundai face and the steps they are taking to tackling them. With smart cities and AI set to play a key role in the future of automobiles, the future of the car industry in an ever more connected world was also debated.

The panel discussion, titled ‘Driving Change – How CRADLE is shaping the way #Hyundai prepares for change’, featured panelists Karsten Thoms, General Manager of #Hyundai Motor Group Design Management Team, Edvin Eriksen, Head of #Hyundai CRADLE Berlin and Linda Stannieder, Founding Partner and MD of Brandlab. It was hosted by moderator Carrie Shuler, co-founder of Stark Mobility Inc.

The mobility market as we know it is changing rapidly as are our customer’s mind set, focusing on sharing economy and hassle free mobility solutions among others. Therefore, brands like #Hyundai are not meant to be simply car manufacturers, but transitioning into service providers who provide holistic solutions for what individual customers need. Thanks to its size and the different fields it is operating, such as steel, trains, public transport, Fuel Cell and construction, #Hyundai has the opportunity to shape a new progressive future to serve its customers’ needs even beyond the known mobility solutions. #Hyundai is moving the customer to the centre of its focus. This also means the company is asking itself whether customers still need the mobility solutions that are offered today, or even tomorrow, in the future. From autonomous driving, to future energy solutions and smart cities, modern technology offers a range of possibilities to shape the future.
