Brief description

Gate4SPICE is a must-attend event focused on exploring Automotive SPICE as a strategic enabler for engineering excellence, predictable delivery and sustainable product quality beyond traditional compliance. This edition will highlight how ASPICE drives organizational capability through assessor competence and evaluation frameworks, while also demonstrating how performance objectives can be effectively defined, deployed and utilized to strengthen process control and project execution. The event will further examine the growing gap between ASPICE compliance and real-world SOP readiness, providing insights into what OEMs truly expect from suppliers in terms of system stability, vehicle behavior and field reliability. An interactive workshop will guide participants from reactive problem solving toward structured, repeatable process improvements that deliver measurable quality and efficiency outcomes. Designed for assessors, project teams and engineering leaders, the event offers practical insights to transform process maturity into operational and engineering excellence.
