This is not a regular podcast episode because today I would like to invite you to our Free Live Workshop "3 Best Strategies for Startups How to Collaborate with Established Companies". This workshop will take place on the 10th of June 2021 at 3pm CET and you are welcome to attend.

Because we work with both sides, startups and global players, when it comes to finding the right cooperation partners, we know directly from practice what leads to success and which mistakes are better to be avoided.

So, sign up for the Free Live Workshop and be excited to see what we develop to help you. We want more companies to benefit and thrive from the knowledge and insights of what works and what doesn't when it comes to collaborations. For more visibility, more recognition, more projects and collaborations at eye level, and finally more technological progress for all of us!

This is a special edition of our Elite Experts Conferences podcast on the subject "The Future of Automotive Design". It is our honor to introduce our next guests: Anders Warming, Frank Wu and Albert-Johann Kirzinger. Let's discover together how automotive design will transform as we look to the mobility of the future - connected, autonomous, shared and electric.

In this episode we had the honor to welcome the next outstanding guest in the Elite Experts Conferences podcast: Yann Vincent, CEO at Automotive Cells Company. ACC is one of Europe’s newest high-tech companies. Backed by Saft -Total and Groupe PSA-Opel, ACC’s goal is to power the future of the automotive industry by innovating in battery technology. The ACC aim to produce sustainable, affordable, high-capacity, longer-life batteries. An R&D center, new state-of-the art facility in France and gigafactories in France and in Germany will be build. It takes a lot of leadership skills and experience to meet the high expectations. Well, Yann Vincent has immense experience in the automotive industry, which he demonstrated most recently in his position as Executive Vice President and Industrial Director for over 6 years at PSA.

We talked about highly relevant topics like:

„Set yourself very demanding targets - that’s the best way to respect yourself“ Yann Vincent replied when asked about his best lessons in leadership.

We wish you enjoyable listening!

Are you curious to learn about a new technology that lets us think beyond the limits of human imagination?

Massimiliano previously led research and development of substantial innovations in intelligent robotics and advanced materials. Francesco was the Director of Computational Science Research at Autodesk, where he spearheaded the creation of generative design.

Augmenta has developed a revolutionary form of generative design that combines AI and computational techniques to change the way we engineer solutions to complex problems.

Imagine what this means:

Rather than simply representing the user's design intent, as all traditional design software does, Augmenta’s generative design systems use AI to learn from both real and simulated worlds, generating extremely novel and high performing designs and then empowering users to explore a wide range of possible solutions.

This new way of working augments human beings’ abilities, helping them be more creative, and freeing them from their own limitations, biases and constraints.

Our guest this time: Fabian Hediger! Fabian is co-founder and CEO of Worldwebforum and co-founder and president of the board of directors of beecom.

Fabian’s path was anything but easy, even though nowadays his company beecom delivers great results and the best of the best from the digital world are coming to the Worldwebforum:

Listen in this episode about the fascinating story of the Worldwebforum, about challenges of beecom and a lot of straight talk about leadership!

These are magical moments when strong people with immense experience tell about their path.

It's not that these people never worry, never make mistakes or always know how to go on. But these personalities have the courage to stand up again after EVERY fall! Simply inspiring!

Our guest this time is Dr. Tamara Baksht, the CEO at VisIC Technologies. Tamara has been leading the company for more than 10 years. She studied physics at Tomsk State University in Russia and completed her PhD at Tel Aviv University. Tamara has a lot of experience with multi-disciplinary GaN projects, starting with research work, but also budgeting, transferring products to production and providing customer support. She also secured financing for her research projects from the Chief Science Office and BIRD Foundation. In August 2009, Tamara completed Phase I of a multi-million USD, multi-year GaN program, one year ahead of the initial schedule.

Our outstanding guest this time: CEO of Polestar, Thomas Ingenlath! We always announce in the podcast „Whether at live events or in the digital world, we bring together cool promising tech startups with exciting innovative global players and generate a platform where the world of sustainable technology meets.“ In this episode it couldn't be more fitting - we have a little of both - back-up from established automotive companies, but also elements of start-up dynamics in the daily work at Polestar.

Dynamic, sustainable, efficient, purist, bold, noble - simply Polestar!

Thomas answered many technical and strategic questions - honestly, competently and thoughtfully!

EEC Podcast would not be EEC Podcast without a personal, inspiring touch!

Thomas also shared with us:

…and much more!

Feel this energy, inner conviction and drive! Let it inspire you!

3nd episode of the Elite Experts Conferences' Podcast: It is our special honor to present our next guest: Marc Jacobs, CEO of Molecular Plasma Group. We talked with Marc about MPG's plasma technology, bonding in automotive industry, sustainability in bonding technologies, business scaling and cooperations. With the presented technology you can achieve something extraordinary: Even bonding on Teflon suddenly becomes possible!

It would be exciting to see who else will be surprised about what is possible with the new plasma technology in composite bonding. This goes in a completely different direction than what we know about classic plasma. Absolutely recommendable for everyone who is involved with bonding.

Of course you will find in this episode again very personal inspiring experiences and views of Marc as an entrepreneur, but also simply as a strong personality. Find out which significant failure was crucial for him, what drives him & why enjoying your work is so important.

Everybody who is interested in understanding cultural differences in business has also to listen to this episode, but we don't want to reveal too much.
