Slalom connects to tackle the next normal
At Slalom, our desire and ability to connect industry executives with their peers and our executive team is a passion. Right now, we feel it’s more important than ever to deliver on this promise. To enable a different kind of dialogue, we are hosting Slalom Drives: a virtual experience that brings executives from across the globe to participate in an intimate conversation about topics-du-jour in the automotive and mobility industry.
PART 2 – It’s Electric!
Electric vehicles are coming! It is already causing disruption across the automotive value chain. Business models are changing as companies like Canoo approach the market differently from day one with a subscription. Regulatory is changing as states allow EV sales direct to consumer. Supply chain is changing as components are eliminated. Logistics and servicing have new challenges around safety and diagnostics. The conversations need to happen. Slalom offers perspectives and solutions from executives across the industry value chain.
