Vehicles are increasingly evolving into connected, software-driven systems with complex functionality. Trends such as electrification, automation, and digitalization provide new possibilities while fundamentally transforming established development processes. To manage this transformation efficiently and reliably, virtual prototypes, structured testing strategies, and automated testing processes are essential tools.

The international technology conference Apply & Innovate 2026 addresses these cutting-edge topics and offers you an ideal platform to explore the latest findings in virtual vehicle development. Discover innovative projects, pioneering methods and state-of-the-art research from the world of virtual test driving.

We invite you to showcase your own project implemented with our products at Apply & Innovate. Present your topic to an audience of experts, researchers, and users and seize the opportunity to connect with international industry peers. We look forward to your topic proposal.
