Munich. This year's "SAE World Congress" - taking place in Detroit, MI - will
open its doors from April 3rd - 6th. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
is the world's largest organization of automotive engineers. The event, which
takes place in this form once a year, traditionally brings together thousands
of engineers and numerous automotive suppliers from around the world to discuss
"The Mobility of the Future". Patron of the event this year is the BMW Group
and the company is represented in Detroit by Professor Burkhard Göschel, BMW AG
Board Member for Purchasing and Development. The central theme for the 2006
congress is: "Driving innovations through partnerships".
A motto for the future
In order to meet the increasing expectations of consumers in the automotive
sector, the onus is on technical innovations to make vehicles even safer and at
the same time more efficient. Cooperation with business partners and suppliers
has a critical role to play in channeling new features rapidly into the model
stream.
The motto "Driving innovations through partnerships" therefore picks up on a
global trend in the industry which is set to influence technological
developments and business relations in the future. "This motto will steer the
content of a large number of the technical forums, discussions and exhibitions
at this year's congress," emphasizes Board Member for Development Göschel.
BMW Group takes on the role of host company
The BMW Group is delighted to accept the role of patron for the SAE World
Congress 2006, and the main theme of "Driving innovations through partnerships"
is duly highlighted in the presentations given by BMW Group specialists.
Discussions in the AVL Technology Theater on Innovations,
Electrics/Electronics, Emissions, Environment, Materials, Safety and Tests, not
to mention the role of Motorsports, lend the event an extra dimension.
Interested visitors can find out more details about research and
innovation-related issues at the BMW Group stand.
