The Auto Industry: Challenges & Opportunities

Description

Please join us on Monday, October 27 to lunch and learn from strategic business advisor, Dennis Cuneo. "The auto industry, an important part of the West Michigan economy, has roared back after the Great Recession. But the industry is in flux, impacted by tough fuel economy regulations, new technology such as autonomous vehicles, and a geographic shift to the southern states. All of this provides both challenges and opportunities for the Lakeshore area." Mr. Cuneo has spent over 30 years in the industry as a Toyota executive, Board member of two major auto suppliers, and a leading industry think tank, a site selection consultant, and adviser to Silicon Valley Companies. He will provide his perspective on how automotive industry changes will impact west Michigan, and deliver recommendations to move forward. Look forward to seeing you on October 27.
