Key Highlights from the Summit

The summit offered a dynamic mix of perspectives, technologies, and discussions that reflect the transformation of the automotive industry:

  • Visionary leadership:
    Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Division, delivered a keynote emphasizing why the industry must act now to prepare for the software-defined future.
  • Scaling innovation:
    Industry leaders, shared insights on the importance of scalable and flexible compute architectures – critical enablers for next-generation vehicles.
  • Ecosystem collaboration in action:
    Engaging discussions reinforced a clear message: the transition to software-defined vehicles is not driven by a single technology or company. It is a shared journey across the entire ecosystem.
  • From concept to reality:
    Interactive demos showcased how close collaboration between partners is already turning innovation into real-world solutions.

Advancing the RISC-V Ecosystem

A key focus of the summit was the evolution of open and scalable architectures. As the automotive industry continues its shift towards software-defined vehicles, Infineon is leading the way with next-generation AURIX™ microcontrollers based on RISC‑V.

This approach enables:

  • Greater flexibility and scalability for diverse vehicle architectures
  • Faster development cycles and easier software portability
  • Open innovation through a strong and growing partner ecosystem

Together with ecosystem partners, Infineon is actively driving the adoption of RISC‑V – laying the foundation for a more open, collaborative, and future-ready mobility landscape.
