The Fifth Year of the Strategic Dialogue
for the Automotive Sector in Baden-Württemberg

With the fifth progress report, I am pleased to provide you with another up-to-date overview of the activities of the Strategic Dialogue for the Automotive Sector in Baden-Württemberg. At the start of the second project phase, it describes the current status of work and discussions of the three SDA focus topics “Vehicles”, “Data” and “Energy” and provides an overview of the initiated and plan­ned projects and measures.

Since the strategy realignment of the SDA at the beginning of 2022, the SDA has been working along the focus topics “Vehicles”, “Data” and “Energy” in structures that are even more agile and powerful. In the second phase of the SDA, we intend to sharpen our focus on digitalization, electrification and climate protection and scale the results of the preceding, practice-oriented research. Our goal with the SDA is to use the concentrated expertise of the Baden-Württemberg automotive industry and its excellent con­nections with other regions in a way that benefits Baden-Württemberg, Germany and Europe.
