16 - 17 June 2026 in Ludwigsburg, Germany
The AEK 2026 motto highlights the importance of disruptive technologies and open ecosystems as key enablers of innovation. Consumer-centric mobility requires architectures that can evolve continuously, integrate new functions efficiently, and support rapid innovation cycles without compromising safety or reliability. Future-proof E/E architectures are therefore not only a technical necessity, but a strategic prerequisite for competitiveness in a software-driven automotive world.
At AEK 2026, industry leaders from OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology providers will explore how AI-powered systems, next-generation E/E architectures, and collaborative ecosystems are reshaping vehicle development and production. The conference will focus on real-world implementation, scalability, and the transition from innovation to series production.
