00:00:00.041 --> 00:00:04.212
So greetings from this year's
CES in Las Vegas edition 2024.

00:00:04.754 --> 00:00:08.508
What impressed me the most this
year at the CES was actually to

00:00:08.508 --> 00:00:11.886
see that as compared to last
year, it was not that much a

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:15.432
revolution, but actually an
evolution, having talked to the

00:00:15.432 --> 00:00:19.227
car manufacturers, having talked
to suppliers and many different

00:00:19.227 --> 00:00:19.686
players.

00:00:20.061 --> 00:00:23.106
And the good thing about
evolution is that it's actually

00:00:23.106 --> 00:00:26.026
not a hype anymore, but it's
actually really close to

00:00:26.026 --> 00:00:26.443
reality.

00:00:27.068 --> 00:00:29.279
And let me pick two elements
right.

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:32.532
The first is talking about
electrification as the first

00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:35.994
tech trend, which did impress me
this year, talking to many

00:00:35.994 --> 00:00:38.413
different players, exhibitors on
the CES.

00:00:38.747 --> 00:00:41.666
It's really about the
electrification of vehicles, but

00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:45.045
not only the vehicles, it's also
really looking along the entire

00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:45.670
value chain.

00:00:46.004 --> 00:00:50.050
It's the charging, it's the
recycling, it's the, let's say,

00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:52.552
diagnostics of the batteries,
right.

00:00:52.802 --> 00:00:55.847
Which impressed me, which is
really real life already on the

00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:56.222
ground.

00:00:56.598 --> 00:01:00.268
The second topic was talking
about AI, including Gen

00:01:00.393 --> 00:01:00.977
AI.

00:01:01.019 --> 00:01:05.023
And again in my specific case,
talking to different suppliers

00:01:05.023 --> 00:01:08.777
to really see how they start
applying AI technologies, AI

00:01:08.777 --> 00:01:12.447
tools along their specific
supplier value chain, whether

00:01:12.447 --> 00:01:16.076
it's R&D, whether it's
purchasing, whether it's B2B

00:01:16.076 --> 00:01:18.953
sales, whether it's general SG
and A topics.

00:01:19.245 --> 00:01:22.540
Those are really the two topics
which impressed me the most this

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:23.374
year at the CES.

00:01:23.625 --> 00:01:24.542
Thanks.
