THE E-MOBILITY LEADERSHIP EXCHANGE series 2026-2027

What strategic decisions must boards make today to win in the mobility landscape of 2030?

The e-mobility Leadership Exchange is a curated executive forum bringing together senior leaders from charging infrastructure, energy, mobility, and investment communities.

Designed for e-mobility board members and CEOs, the Exchange creates a trusted space for strategic dialogue on the opportunities, risks, and governance challenges shaping the future of e-mobility.

Rather than relying only on formal presentations alone, each session is built around peer exchange, sparring, and challenge under Chatham House Rules. This enables open discussion among leaders responsible for oversight, strategy, investment, and execution across the industry.

Each Exchange brings together different perspectives on the business of e-mobility, with a focus on emerging opportunities and threats, their implications for governance and management, and the strategic decisions required to remain competitive.

Topics are introduced by experienced board professionals with long-term, hands-on industry expertise. Participants are then invited to join the discussion, challenge assumptions, and share their own experiences.

Insights from the webinars and participant feedback will shape the agenda of the live executive event in Zurich 2027.

THE E-MOBILITY LEADERSHIP EXCHANGE SUMMIT 2027

A Fancy Title for the Live Event

14-15 April 2027 | Zürich, Switzerland

The eMobility Board Summit is an opportunity to develop a clear understanding of the dynamics and strategic questions driving the sector’s transformation — in dialogue with fellow board members, CEOs, and thought leaders.

The eMobility Board Summit is designed for board members and CEOs, bringing together non-executive leaders and executive decision-makers shaping the future of eMobility. The summit is also relevant for CEOs and board members who have recently taken governance or executive responsibility in the mobility or energy sectors, or whose organizations are now entering the eMobility space.

In an informal and confidential setting, you will:

  • Build a big-picture understanding of eMobility, energy integration, and the market logic behind them
  • Gain insights you can apply directly in your boardroom, from funding to governance to innovation
  • Connect with peers and experts shaping the mobility and energy transitions
