ABOUT THE EVENT:
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are growing fast as key enablers for future transport solutions. Volvo Group uses a data-driven approach to harness the power of data for automation, prediction, and optimization in a wide range of applications.

The demand for transportation solutions is constantly growing, while climate change and urban congestion push for automated, safer, cleaner, and more efficient future transport and infrastructure solutions. It’s exactly this kind of multifaceted challenge that data science and AI are perfect for.

In this 55-minute replay of Volvo Group Live, guests will be shown how Robert Valton, Director Advanced Analytics and AI, and Nils Odebo Länk, Data Scientist, here at Volvo Group, demonstrate how data science can break down business risks and benefits, allowing a customer to electrify a fleet of trucks with confidence. You will also meet Hélène Panagopoulos, a recently appointed Data Scientist, and discover what it takes to thrive in that role.

Stay tuned during the webinar for the opportunity to try your hand at solving a data-science challenge. We’ll reveal the details of the challenge during the show. If you solve the challenge, you will have the opportunity to discuss and share knowledge about AI and Data Science with Volvo Group experts at an online VIP lounge event May 21, 2021.
