We inform you regularly about the latest updates and news from the most important congress for automotive electronics, software and applications.
October 15 - 16, 2025
Bonn, World Conference Center
ELIV not only provides ample networking opportunities and a comprehensive exhibition but also a highly relevant and up-to-date lecture agenda for all attendees. This ensures that attendees stay informed about the latest developments, trends, and future solutions.
To ensure that the lecture agenda aligns with the congress's main concept, the ELIV program committee sets the course well before the call for papers is published. The committee consists of leading representatives from OEMs and key suppliers who have a keen intuition for detecting new mega trends while ensuring that traditional topics and enablers are also addressed.
We are expressing our cordial thanks to all members of the program committee for their many years of committed and voluntary work in this committee.

The VDI Society for Vehicle and Transport Technologies, VDI-FVT in short, has around 28,000 members that are affiliated to at least one of its 8 technical sections. This makes it the second biggest of the VDI’s dedicated societies. VDI-FVT is the community for engineers working in the vehicle industry, as well as for engineers dealing with transport and traffic outside manufacturing industries.
Traditionally, a majority of members work in automotive. VDI-FVT is the German affiliate of the world federation of automotive engineers’ societies, FISITA, and it is the intellectual sponsor of many big conferences on automotive technology and thus fosters exchange and knowledge transfer both nationally and internationally. It also sponsors Formula Student Germany, awarding VDI membership to all German participants, and promotes other student competitions for transport engineers. VDI-FVT has recently reconstituted technical sections for rail and marine technologies, as well as space- and aircraft. It is putting a strong focus on transport and traffic in general and aims to mediate between technology and society.
