SUMMARY:The Shift Toward Electric Vehicles and Its Impact on Various Industries (Hybrid Event)
DESCRIPTION:Unlike the past three EV (electric vehicle) booms\, this time\, the EV shift goes beyond the shift to EVs by automakers and is a structural change involving many stakeholders. \nThe shift to EVs is not simply a move to replace engines with batteries and motors\, but it will cause structural changes in the automotive industry\, and the impact will spread to the materials and energy industries. It will also cause a chain reaction with autonomous driving and car-sharing and will spread to service industries such as insurance and logistics\, involving the IT industry. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the structural changes related to the shift to EVs and report on budding initiatives to seize these changes as opportunities. \nA light lunch will be included along with your registration. We look forward to seeing you there! \nSPEAKERS\n\nHiro Ishizaki\, Partner of NRI-America\nAki Fujita\, Principal of NRI-America\n\nThis is a hybrid event.
