Portfolio-MAGE Automotive Industry 2024

“What else might come?” The agile managers of the automotive companies that have "survived" the last few years are now fully equipped for crisis and change management. Difficulties are still present in supply chains, and in addition to current energy prices, retaining competitiveness is also a great task for the Hungarian automotive industry. Labour shortage and the quality of available workforce pose a challenge for companies all around Europe – in order to increase effectiveness and productivity, they must exploit possibilities in robotisation and automation to the maximum. Our current leaders are actively looking for a way out with energetics, production efficiency, and green investments, and they see new development possibilities in the application of artificial intelligence and digitalisation, moving towards electrification and sustainability, inspiring and helping their suppliers and employees.

Let us learn from them and each other by sharing best practices! Let us meet again this year in Kecskemét in the Sheraton Hotel; with a dinner, evening programme, and possibilities for networking and accommodation after the technical part.

Factory tour:

On the second day of the conference, we will provide factory visits to several nearby sites with a shuttle bus service. Participation in the factory visits requires registration. You can only book your place if you already have a ticket to the event.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BOOKING Online registration does NOT include the possibility of reserving a room. Accommodation at the Four Points by Sheraton Kecskemét Hotel and Conference Centre is charged and can be booked individually at the following email address: reservation@fourpointskecskemet.com. Please let them know you will attend the Automotive Industry Conference 2024. This information is not comprehensive; please contact the hotel directly for details.

Ők mentik meg a munkaerőhiánytól a hazai vállalatokat 

A magyar munkaerőpiac évek óta jelentős munkaerőhiánnyal küzd, gyakorlatilag nem maradt mára olyan terület, ahol ne lennének betöltetlen állások százai szabadon. Az elmúlt években több jogszabály is segítette az Európai Unión kívülről érkezők munkáltatását, amely hamar meg is mutatkozott a számokon: soha annyi külföldi - több mint 70 ezer - nem dolgozott Magyarországon, mint 2022-ben. A munkaerőközvetítők szerepe megkerülhetetlen, hiszen csak rajtuk keresztül lehet koordináltan, biztos garanciák mellett akár többszáz fősre is duzzadó munkaerőt toborozni külföldön.

Így is lehet: 4 napos munkahéttel válaszol a magyar KKV az energiaár robbanásra 

Az energiaválság miatt a földgáz és az áram ára is az égbe szökött, nem volt ritka, hogy a vállalatok hússzoros árat is fizethettek az energiáért. A költségek ugyan csökkenésnek indultak, de a Portfolio – MAGE Járműipar 2023 szakértői ugyanakkor egyetértettek abban, hogy az olcsó energia korának vége, és a néhány évvel ezelőtti árakhoz képest is jelentősen magasabb szinten fognak stabilizálódni. Az energiaintenzív iparágak számára ez súlyos versenyképességi hátrányt jelent, különösen úgy, hogy jelentős, akár 40-50 százalékos energiaköltségfelárral is számolni lehetett a nyugat-európai szereplőkkel szemben. Mit tehet ilyenkor egy vállalat, hogy talpon maradjon? Mi jöhet a tűzoltás után, milyen stratégiát kell folytatnia a hosszútávon is sikeres működéshez?

Ezek a cégek lehetnek a debreceni akkumulátorgyár első hazai beszállítói 

Az elmúlt évek piaci folyamatai miatt igen nehéz helyzetbe került az EU és Magyarország autóipara is. A költségek drasztikus növekedése és az elektrifikáció is kihívás elé állítja a szereplőket, de egyben történelmi lehetőséget is jelent számukra. Magyarország kulcsszereplő lehet az európai elektromos autó gyártásban, az újonnan megjelent ázsiai akkumulátoripari vállalatok már elkezdték keresni a hazai beszállítókat, szándékaik szerint a termelési lánc minél nagyobb szeletét hoznák az országba. A Debrecenben beruházó CATL minőségbiztosítási és tesztelési kompetenciákat építene ki a gyártás mellett, amelyhez helyi vállalatok és egyetemek együttműködését keresi.
