Two Days, One Shared Future – BME x Jaguar Land Rover TechDay 2025

in

We are once again hosting the BME x Jaguar Land Rover TechDay, where the engineers and senior experts of one of the leading automotive companies, Jaguar Land Rover, will present the technologies shaping the future of mobility — right here at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

The two-day event will feature lectures, vehicle showcases, and inspiring industrial insights. The highlight of the programme will be a keynote by Dave Nesbitt, Global Director Digital Product Platform – Product Engineering at Jaguar Land Rover, who will introduce the audience to the key aspects of the Software Defined Vehicle paradigm shift.

Jaguar Land Rover has been a strategic partner of the Department of Automotive Technologies at BME for over five years. A significant milestone in this collaboration was reached in 2024, during the previous TechDay, when a long-term agreement was signed between the company and the university to deepen cooperation in education and research.

Participation is free, but registration is required:
