Stuttgart region supports DRIVES Project
On September 19th 2018, working package leaders of the DRIVES project met in Stuttgart. The meeting was hosted by “Region Stuttgart”, an association of local authorities within the Stuttgart Region that works with other institutions to ensure the area’s international competitiveness, and to coordinate collaboration between local towns and districts. With a population of 2.7 million, the area features a highly advanced industrial infrastructure, with the automotive sector being one of the main sectors. Vehicle design and production, research and development as well as engineering, in general, are a vital part of the area´s economy.
Regions Stuttgart participates in the DRIVES project, using their wide range of automotive companies and sector institutions to boost interest and gather relevant information for the project.
During the meeting, working packages leaders focused on the identification and characterisation of the occupational profiles to be developed, based on the future needs of the automotive sector. These findings will be shared with more than 300 stakeholders, searching for their input and expertise, to ensure a full overview an analysis of the skills needed on a changing environment, linked with the main drivers that are influencing the change.
