The art of thinking independently together. Conference for Scandinavian women and men who work in the car - and car-related industries.

​

Sophie Seiwald, Director of IT People & Products Mercedes-Benz AG, spoke at the Women Automotive Summit in 2019 about putting the individual at the center of culture building, about worshiping each individual's contribution, the art of thinking individually (independently) together. Putting diversity of mindset, perspective, creativity and thought in front of boys vs girls, which often polarizes diversity. This is a good starting point for conversations and discussions about women in the car industry at the Sisters in Cars conference.
