Autotech Council's Annual Science Fair is a once-a-year opportunity to introduce forward-looking technologies and innovations to strategy, R&D, scouting, investing, and partnership executives from across the mobility industry.
Car makers, vendors, startups, academics, and investors promote their innovations, products and co-development projects in a show-and-tell format. 100s of tech scouts and business development executives across automotive, transportation, and mobility visit the Science Fair to shop for innovation, search for synergies, and brainstorm potential use cases with their innovation colleagues.
Join industry leaders as they browse exhibits, discover companies and technologies transforming the automotive industry, and take the next step with pre-arranged, private meetings of mutual interest curated by our MatchMaker Meeting service.

Every year, companies, big and small, share cutting-edge mobility technologies at Autotech Council's Science Fair.
