Following a highly successful debut at XR Expo 2025, the Special Interest Group (SIG) Automotive Meetup returns to Stuttgart — bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and practitioners at the forefront of spatial computing and artificial intelligence.
As the automotive sector accelerates the adoption of XR and AI, the focus is shifting from experimentation to real-world impact. This year’s meetup is dedicated to one central question:
How do we move from promising pilots to scalable, productive solutions across the automotive value chain?
What to Expect
→ Lightning Talks – From Concept to Scale
Short, high-impact presentations showcasing how XR and AI are transforming product development, production, and training. Real use cases with measurable value and operational integration.
→ Expert Panel – Productive AI in Automotive
Moving beyond the hype, industry experts discuss challenges, lessons learned, and success factors in deploying AI at scale.
→ Focused Networking
Connect with peers, exchange ideas, and build partnerships shaping the future of automotive innovation.
An XR Expo Ticket is required for Registration. Secure your tickets HERE.

XR Expo – Stuttgart Trade Fair
Vitek Goyel, Managing Director and Founder of Kompetek Interaktiv GmbH
A real-world case study of “PixelSpray VR” in automotive paint shops, highlighting how XR can improve skill development while reducing costly errors. The talk shares practical lessons on usability, adoption, and scaling solutions from pilot projects to production environments.
Kemal Gider, Sales Director CDM Tech GmbH
Insights from the journey of transforming a model-based AR inspection concept into a globally deployed solution in industrial manufacturing.
Prof. Arsénio Reis, Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro
From a new electric vehicle with intelligent Antennas to an industrial XR Onboarding Platform, A-MoVer brings together research and industry teams to enable unique cases for the Automotive production and Defense Markets.
Michael Aechtler, CEO and Founder of Gamechangerz
The hype around simple chat AIs is flattening out, but the real transformation in automotive is still ahead: the convergence of Extended Reality (XR) and agentic AI. We are moving from command-based systems to autonomous, context-aware agents acting as “spatial co-pilots,” capable of understanding physical environments.
In this talk, we will look at the operational reality: multi-agent systems are no longer theoretical — they already orchestrate complex workflows in vehicle design, generate test cases autonomously, and reduce downtime in predictive maintenance.
This represents a major opportunity for industrial companies, with forecasts estimating an additional $450–650 billion in annual value by 2030.
Panelists:
- Michael Aechtler, CEO & Founder – Gamechangerz
- Alexander Grasse, CPO – Incari
- Joerg Dietrich, Senior Sales Director – MHP-A Porsche Company
- Luis Bravo Martins, Vice-President – XR Safety Initiative
- Frank Egle, CEO & Co-Founder – Unware Technology
Moderated by:
- Jean-Michel Blottière, CEO – RTC
- Jan Pflueger, RTC Automotive SIG Leader | Founder & Advisor – advisXR
