AREA
STARTUP
The aim of Automotive Dealer Day is to act as a catalyst for progress and growth, while staying true to the guiding principle that has shaped every edition of the event: innovation.
For 2026 as well, we want to set up a dedicated physical space for the new players entering the automotive scene—a place where they can present their ideas and make them known. #ADD26 can be the perfect setting to build connections and give real visibility to emerging brands and projects.
