LA Auto Show's Connected Car Expo Selects Top Ten Automotive Startups™ For 2015
Fortune partners with CCE to help recognize new auto industry disruptors
LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles Auto Show's Connected Car Expo (CCE) announced its plans to establish the premier top ten list of the hottest and most influential startups to hit the automotive scene. Slated for reveal in September by Fortune, the inaugural shortlist will recognize startups with the potential to shape the future of the new automotive industry.
LA Auto Show's Top Ten Automotive Startups (Top 10) will be selected by the CCE Advisory Board, comprised of senior executives from companies including Aeris Communications, AT&T, City of Los Angeles, Elektrobit, Ellis & Associates, Google, Microsoft, Mobile Electronics Group, NVIDIA, Pandora and Strategy Analytics. Following the Board's consideration and extensive analysis of qualified newcomers, ten startups will be chosen based on the following criteria: vision, innovation, unique perspective and the likelihood of technology adoption and success.
"While today's automakers are looking at California's technological hotbeds to spark their innovation, there are thousands of companies competing to bring their technologies to market," said Andy Gryc, CCE Conference Director. "We feel that the startups identified by our Advisory Board will be the true standouts among a crowded field, companies that will push the envelope of the automotive world in ways that will change the way cars are built, bought and driven."
Part of LA Auto Show's broader Press & Trade Days, CCE is the award-winning conference and trade show that unites innovators, manufacturers, futurists and influencers to further the convergence of technology and the automobile. This year's CCE will be held at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live on Nov. 17, followed by LA Auto Show's press and trade events at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Nov. 18-19. CCE exhibitors and attendees with a premium pass can witness this year's vehicle debuts and have access to an all-new CCE networking destination at the convention center.
Over the next few months, the LA Auto Show and CCE will announce more details about the 2015 show, including session/discussion topics and industry expert participants.
