About Drive Forward

In a world where the way we travel and transport goods is rapidly evolving, society and climate are facing significant challenges that demand urgent action. The transition to smart, safe, and sustainable mobility, coupled with the need for accessible and livable cities, underscores the global urgency of these themes.

These developments call for efficient transport systems and infrastructure, which can be realized through a combination of advancements and innovations in sectors such as logistics, mobility, energy, and infrastructure. Due to the increasing interdependence and ongoing transitions of these and other sectors, new international value chains will emerge. Dutch companies can play a unique role in this process.

From industry partners, knowledge institutions, and public organizations, we see that an acceleration of these transitions is necessary and crucial. That is why we are launching Drive Forward!

Drive Forward builds on the experience and energy of the successful editions of the Automotive Week in recent years. With a tightened course and ambition. Ready for the future!

Drive Forward 2025, a multi-day conference devoted to promoting innovation in green and smart mobility is at the forefront of addressing these issues. This conference is more than just a gathering; it represents a thriving ecosystem with panel talks, interactive deep dives, and live demonstrations, all geared toward advancing the automotive mobility industry.

Drive Forward 2025 will take place at Automotive Campus in Helmond, at the heart of research, innovation, and high-tech manufacturing; Brainport Eindhoven.

We feel the responsibility to contribute to the acceleration and sustainability of automotive mobility through Brainport Eindhoven and the broader Netherlands ecosystem, leveraging our technological knowledge and innovative strength. We invite you to join this journey, to share your innovations, challenges, and approaches, and to inspire and be inspired. Together, we can forge a powerful network and drive towards a future-proof and sustainable automotive world.
