Automotive Forum

Tuesday 23rd September 2025
09:00 – 18:20

Applications like keyless entry or tire pressure monitoring systems, mobile communications and, more recently, automotive radar systems made microwave technologies a strong pillar inside the automotive world. The first 77 GHz automotive radar sensors entered the European vehicle market in 1999. In 2019, the European Microwave Association (EuMA) for the first time organized the Automotive Forum to provide an open platform for industrial experts to discuss technical aspects, concepts and radar architectures as well as market issues in the area of microwaves in the automotive industry.

The forum consists of a good mix of technical talks and poster presentations, a keynote speech, a panel discussion, and plenty of time for networking. The forum is mainly devoted to technical experts from automotive industry throughout the whole supply chain. Keynote speakers will present their views on special technical solutions as well as regulatory or strategic issues.
