Third Avnet Automotive Ecosystem Summit to Focus on AI and Automotive Transformation

With the roar of engines merging into a digital torrent, China's automotive industry is undergoing a historic transition from a 'manufacturing highland' to a dual-driven model of 'technology + ecology'. This transformation involves not only the iteration of power systems but also the reconstruction of the underlying logic of the industry. In this context, the third Avnet Automotive Ecosystem Summit (AAES2025), themed 'Intelligent Mobility: Automotive Ecological Transformation in the AI Era', will be held in 'Hangzhou on July 22' and 'Wuhan on July 29'. With technological innovation as the spearhead and ecological co-construction as the shield, the summit aims to collaboratively outline the future of smart mobility amidst the AI wave. To promote innovation and development in the automotive industry and facilitate communication and cooperation within and outside the sector, the Avnet Automotive Ecosystem Summit has been held for two consecutive years, inviting experts and corporate representatives to engage in in-depth discussions on industry trends and hot topics. The summit has attracted over a thousand attendees on-site and tens of thousands online, demonstrating its strong influence as an annual event in the automotive electronics industry. The 2025 summit will take place in two innovation hubs: Hangzhou, a city with robust momentum in AI and digital fields, and Wuhan, a manufacturing stronghold that continues to foster industrial agglomeration. Focusing on three major technological directions—'Intelligent Driving', 'New Energy Power', and 'Vehicle.AI Cross-disciplinary Collaboration'—the event invites over twenty semiconductor chip manufacturers, partners, and industry experts to present through keynote speeches, summit forums, technical seminars, and live DEMO showcases, providing a panoramic analysis of the technological evolution in the automotive sector and a comprehensive presentation of the industry transformation in the AI era. The summit will feature prominent guests including Mr. Wang Xianbin, who will discuss the integration of AI and automotive development trends, as well as the application of AI technology throughout the automotive lifecycle. Mr. Hou Haiyan will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various cockpit networking architectures, while Mr. Hu Yanqing will introduce the Guangzhi R1 SoC and an expandable computing platform.
