AuToS SW-BW - For a sustainable automotive and technology hub
With over 25,000 jobs in the automotive industry, the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg region ranks among Germany’s top 100 automotive regions. The predominantly small and medium-sized suppliers are, in part, facing significant pressure to transform due to their focus on mechanically manufactured components and their status as Tier 2 or 3 suppliers. At the same time, innovative pioneers can be identified in key future-oriented fields.
This is where the automotive initiative “AuToS SW-BW” comes in. The project stands for “Automotive Transformation Strategy for Southwest Baden-Württemberg.” Together with the many small and medium-sized enterprises, the goal is to create a visible network of the regional automotive industry with a strong voice, to align business models with the future, to train employees, and to transfer knowledge.
The goal is to develop the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg region into a sustainable and future-proof automotive and technology hub with innovative, medium-sized suppliers.
