Event Facts
The 11th edition of the International Symposium on Development Methodology will take place on November 11 and 12, 2025. The globally unique industry meeting for development methodology in powertrain and vehicle development is dedicated to current methodological approaches in the development of competing technologies.
The motto of this year's event is “Challenge of Global Competition – Sustainable, Intelligent and Faster?!”, because the automotive industry is at a crucial turning point: global competition is increasing, challenging companies worldwide to act not only efficiently, but also sustainably and with an eye to the future. How can we succeed in a market that demands constant change? What strategies are needed to combine new technologies, sustainability and speed? We want to work with you to develop solutions that meet the demands of global competition while taking responsibility for the environment and society.
In addition to the use of methods in the development and validation of electrified and non-electrified propulsion systems, the connected vehicle, and ADAS/AD functionalities, we are giving a special podium to the topics of digitalization, virtualization, and simulation as well as the software-defined vehicle.
Furthermore, methodologies from the practice of vehicle and powertrain development will be in the foreground. Best practices from system development, testing, calibration, modeling, and optimization will contribute to this.
More detailed information on the event (registration, program etc.) will be available here in the upcoming months.
