Mobility

In the race to develop new mobility services based on connectivity and the shared use of vehicles, Barcelona-based car manufacturer SEAT has emerged as an industry pioneer.

Volkswagen, Mercedes, Renault, PSA, Opel and Porche are all showing new concepts, production cars or both and all appear to be pursuing electric vehicles.

ProPILOT represents the latest staging post on Nissan’s journey to a fully autonomous future.

Luca de Meo was named head of SEAT last November and now aims to transform the Barcelona-based manufacturer into a front-runner in connectivity.

Barcelona-based SEAT is incorporating mobile communications and entertainment technology into its models to appeal to a young and vibrant segment of the population.

In addition to sustainability and the environment, saving time and money are the main advantages of driving an electric car. The use of special lanes and reserved parking zones are incentives for drivers of zero emissions cars.

70 years after SEAT first started helping turn Spain into a modern, car-owning society, the company swung into action to help its home country respond to one of the greatest challenges of our time

Half of all current jobs will no longer exist in 25 years, while new professions are gaining ground. Data is the new oil and therefore every company is looking for data scientists, architects and engineers. Attracting talent is a major challenge for businesses, as every sector is competing for the same profiles.

"Design is a tool that helps the brand achieve what it wants to communicate and where it wants to go. Kia has been a challenger brand. We came from nothing and we have surprised a lot of people."

Known around the world as a nation of bicycle-lovers, the Netherlands is also emerging as a global pioneer in the transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs).
