Perspectives: Understanding G2B is mission critical to the transition to the mobility future

This roundtable builds directly on the themes introduced in the opening presentation.

Government policy on a global scale will define key elements of the transition to the mobility future. The impact of President Trump’s policy agenda and Europe’s response are critical. In other words, before B2B, B2C, and even B2G, one must understand G2B. The transition to EVs and Software Defined Vehicles (and everything else) is either led by or modulated by government. Geopolitical strategy, rules on energy transition and sustainability, and digital transformation define the mobility environment. Understanding G2B is mission critical. We will explore the G2B context and show its relevance to the mobility industry.
