The 2022 China Auto Supply Chain Conference and the Seventh China Automotive Parts Industry Award ceremony concluded on Dec 24 in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ).
Senior executives, industry insiders and automotive specialists from all parts of China were invited to the automotive event to discuss how to build a safer, more resilient and controllable automobile supply chain as well as how to reshape the automotive industrial chain system.
The conference was jointly organized by WEDZ and Auto Business Review – an authoritative automobile media outlet in China, and has been held twice in the zone previously.
