The automotive and mobility industry faces highly disruptive challenges through electrification, industry 4.0 and automated driving. New competitors enter into highly consolidated industries. Suppliers need to reinvent themselves as their legacy products will be replaced by systems for which the required know-how needs to be developed or acquired. Development for automated driving is very costly and adoption remains unclear. To stay in the driver seat, know-how and capability acquisitions and cross-industry cooperations will play a pivotal role. Our transaction know-how makes S&P your ideal partner for transformation.
