💪 Bifrost Summit 2025 is partnering with EVS 38 to explore the future of emerging technologies and sustainable mobility    ❓What does it mean to be part of the world of electromobility? For one, there is a dynamic market, for another, there is a new sense of urgency for increased sustainability, and lastly, there is a challenging legislative environment. As members of this ever-changing sector, we have truly grasped the concept of being the driving force for meaningful change. We stand for transformation, decarbonization, and innovation—a pole position we can be proud of. 🙌 Attracting global industry leaders, showcasing the latest technologies and infrastructure solutions, hosting high-level discussions, and providing a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing, EVS also promotes research while raising public awareness of and education on the role of EVs in sustainable goals. In June 2025, Gothenburg will host EVS38, with more than 11,000 visitors expected. Participants encompass many sectors, from stakeholders and industry representatives to policymakers and associations to academics, researchers, and EV users. Over four days, we expect and encourage fruitful discussions, valuable networking, broadening of horizons, and learning opportunities. Let’s see together how far electromobility, our sector, has come and find new opportunities to bring it forward. ☝️ Don't miss EVS38—The International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition, 15–18 June 2025, Gothenburg, Sweden.
