The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, driven by advancements in electrification, digitalisation, and decarbonisation. As automakers focus on energy efficiency, safety, and user experience, every component of a vehicle is undergoing transformation - including vehicle glazing. Once limited to providing visibility and protection, glazing now plays an increasingly important role for modern and future mobility. Vehicle glazing is becoming more than just a structural element, especially with the rise of self-driving technology and connected mobility. Smart glass technologies, such as electrochromic and photovoltaic glazing, enhance passenger comfort by regulating light and heat while improving energy efficiency. Additionally, augmented reality (AR) head-up displays (HUDs) and embedded sensors are turning vehicle windows into interactive interfaces, aiding navigation and driver assistance systems. These innovations are making vehicle glazing an integral part of next-generation automotive design.

Set against a backdrop of Europe's rich automotive heritage and a future-oriented vision, the European Vehicle Glazing Innovation Summit 2025 is designed to foster cross-industry collaborations, ignite innovation, and create new business opportunities. It will bring together key industry leaders, innovators, and experts from across Europe and beyond to explore the transformative developments in vehicle glazing, driving forward sustainable, safe, and smart vehicle landscape.
