CEE Automotive Supply Chain

13-14 November 2024
Žilina, Slovakia

SMMT is taking a UK delegation to the CEE Automotive Supply Chain event in Žilina, Slovakia. This 2 day event, which alternates yearly between Czech Republic and Slovakia, expects to welcome hundreds of delegates including numerous attendees from OEM and Tier 1 companies, providing attendees with a unique opportunity to learn and engage with many of the leading automotive companies in the region.

Slovakia’s automotive market

The automotive industry is the most important economic sector in Slovakia, with established OEMs JLR, Kia, Stellantis and Volkswagen manufacturing in the country together with more than 350 local suppliers.

The wider Central and Eastern European (CEE) region has received sizeable investments and is in a position to make the most of its geographic and economic advantages.

The rapid shift towards automotive electrification places British companies in an ideal position to explore this established and exciting market.

CEE Automotive Supply Chain 2024

This event combines a conference and networking evening on the first day and B2B meetings on the second day, offering targeted opportunities for automotive professionals looking for partners in CEE region. Topics discussed in the conference include the automotive supply chain, future requirements on suppliers, quality, logistics and primary production parts sales.

This event is for you if you are interested in the fast-growing and dynamic CEE automotive sector, looking to make new connections and understanding more about the supply chain opportunities on offer.
