With over 20 high-level technical presentations in the lineup, the Summit promises exclusive insights into how VI-grade’s simulation software, driving simulators, and Hardware-in-the-Loop technology can benefit the automotive development landscape.

Specifically curated high-level keynote and technical presentations will feature representatives from Applus+ IDIADA, Automobili Lamborghini, Bugatti Rimac / RSengineering, Bentley, EDAG Group, Goodyear, Honda R&D Europe, Horiba Mira / Giti Tire, Hitachi Astemo, Mahindra & Mahindra, MegaRide / Meccanica 42, Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Benz, Multimatic and Politecnico di Milano.
