Annual Report of Activities 2021-2022
With the aim to support and recognise the outstanding achievements from automotive suppliers, every year, the CLEPA Innovation Awards invite organisations from across the mobility ecosystem to share their latest and greatest efforts in innovation excellence.
With a revamped concept launched in 2022, the CLEPA Innovation Awards acknowledge great achievements in the European automotive supply industry in two mobility domains: Smart & Safe, and Clean & Sustainable. With more than 90 applications received during the 2022 call for proposals, the winners will be announced during the gala planned for the 13 October 2022 in Brussels.
After two successful virtual editions, Europe’s leading automotive Aftermarket Conference was again celebrated in person in June 2022. With more than 200 participants, the event focused on connectivity, data places and mobility use cases, showcasing how different market players have already started creating the ecosystem for the utilisation of in-vehicle data. This will be regulated with the Data Act proposed by the EU Commission, that has provided further guidance on a potential regulatory framework for a data economy in Europe.
The CLEPA Materials Regulations Event 2022—the leading EU conference in the field—brought to light how the topic of sustainability is currently shaping the automotive supply chain. Adapting to this dynamic space, the event included a ‘Sustainability Day’, dedicated to the latest policy priorities in terms of sustainable financing, investment and reporting. The 14th edition of this annual conference, held in May 2022, counted more than 250 virtual participants and focused on key legislation End of Life-Vehicles (ELV) and the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, as well as cooperation among stakeholders that work to facilitate the global adoption of initiatives and tools related with sustainability, as well as on materials & substances policies.
On January 2022, CLEPA organised a policy event to discuss the social dimension of a technology transformation that relies only on a full electrification approach. With more than 300 participants, the event provided a platform for a compelling exchange of views by key stakeholders, bringing together a high-level panel, with representatives from across the mobility ecosystem, to delve into the challenges and opportunities stemming from the mobility transition for European regions, businesses and citizens alike.
