Brief description

Gate4SPICE is a must attend event focused on transforming engineering experience into sus-tainable excellence in the era of AI and Soft-ware-Defined Vehicles. This edition will explore how lessons learned and problem solving experiences can be transformed into preventive actions, while positioning Automotive SPICE 4.0 beyond traditional compliance - as a governance backbone for trustworthy, traceable and continuously improving engineering. The event will examine how ASPICE 4.0 and Machine Learning Engineering can enable AI-driven, connected and software-defined vehicles and how Agentic AI can transform ASPICE compliance from periodic, evidence based assessments into continuous and intelligent engineering assurance. A dedicated workshop, “From Findings to Foresight: Converting Experience into Preventive Excellence” will bring participants together in six groups to explore real world challenges, share experiences and identify practical approaches for preventing recurring issues. Designed for ASPICE assessors and engineering professionals, the event offers actionable insights to strengthen quality, accelerate process adoption and move from compliance and problem solving toward predictive and autonomous engineering excellence.
