This Panel is designed to facilitate interaction among AIB members interested in the global(ization of)
automotive industry as well as a dialogue with practitioners and policy makers. Thus, it brings together experts
on different established and emerging automotive markets with representatives from an innovative engine
technology firm and the U.S. EPA exemplifying new forms of collaboration. In particular we will trigger
discussions about how organizations and institutions hailing from different geographies and sectors are
becoming increasingly connected and interdependent. The internationalization of the automotive industry over
the last three decades or so has commonly been associated with the rise of Japan and, more recently China and
India. The panel is divided in two parts: firstly, an academic part to familiarize the audience with automotive
industries in Eastern and Southern geographies and analyzing those different settings; secondly, the
practitioners' voices, both from industry and policy makers. The goal of the panel is to stimulate new, potentially
interdisciplinary and international collaborative research projects, much along the lines of new forms of
collaboration witnessed in the industry facilitated by international research networks such as IMVP. (For more
