Agentic AI in Automotive R&D: why AI Agents are the CTO's most strategic bet to reduce lead times
As the automotive industry races toward the software-defined vehicle era, the engineering organizations that deploy AI agents will fundamentally outperform those that don't. Not because they have more engineers, but because they make a different leadership decision. Complex design, simulation, and validation workflows that once took days now run in minutes. Entire layers of specialized hand-offs are being automated within a single intelligent pipeline.

The Engineering Imperative: Why AI Agents Are the CEO's Most Strategic Bet Right Now
Dr. Marc Uth (Synera) and Dr. Niels Patschke (Partner McKinsey & Company, Inc.) will cut through the strategic noise: which companies are winning with AI in engineering, why it's a CEO-level decision, and what it takes to build this competitive advantage before your competition does.
What you will learn:
- Why AI Agents in engineering is fundamentally a strategic leadership decision - not an IT project
- Which competitive dynamics are already shifting in automotive R&D
- How forward-looking OEMs and suppliers are using agents to compress development cycles and reduce costs
- What it takes to build this capability as a durable competitive advantage
