screen-shot-2016-11-18-at-12-39-40-pmThe inaugural 2016 World Mobility Leadership Forum proved that mobility’s next chapter begins in Detroit. We want to thank the partners, sponsors and speakers that made the experience memorable. During the two-day Forum, more than 300 automotive, mobility, technology and government leaders from 12 countries gathered in Detroit to discuss the ways mobility can help solve some of the most pressing global challenges. Nearly 30 experts and thought leaders took the stage to provide their perspectives on the future of mobility, including Ford Motor Company’s Bill Ford and General Motors Company’s Mary Barra. The Forum garnered worldwide media coverage from outlets such as Automotive News, Bloomberg, Forbes, USA Today and Yahoo Finance. And best of all, the Forum reinforced Michigan’s leadership role in the next mobility revolution as the automotive and technology industries converge.
