Women Automotive Summit: Europe 2025

Be inspired by the women driving the transformation of the automotive industry and the future of mobility

Electrification, software, evolving customer experiences, and a wave of new market entrants – the automotive industry is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history and women are at the heart of it, helping shape a future of safe, satisfying, and sustainable mobility experiences.

Amid this wave of megatrends and change, there’s a pressing need for new skills, new ways of working, new perspectives.

Across procurement, sales and marketing, engineering, IT, strategy and design, and so many other areas, women are stepping up to the challenge, rising to prominence – driving the evolution of the industry’s culture and collective mindset, and influencing every stage of the automotive and mobility value chains.

This is evident across Capgemini and our global automotive community. Within our organization, in our relationships with clients, and through industry events and associations, we are proud to promote the growing role of women in the industry and celebrate their contribution to our clients’ successes and to the evolution of mobility experiences.
