We at magility are starting the new year 2025 with a lot of energy and enthusiasm! Together with our customers, partners and the entire team, we are looking forward to exciting projects, pioneering innovations and many inspiring encounters. But before we turn our full attention to the future, let’s take a look back at the past year.

A look back at 2024: successful projects and valuable milestones

2024 was a year that brought us exciting challenges and outstanding projects. We would particularly like to highlight our work on the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) simulation tool for the electrification of a truck fleet, which impressively demonstrated how practical and efficient sustainable mobility solutions can be realised. These and many other projects have not only helped our customers in the mobility sector, but have also shown how important it is to work together towards a more sustainable future.

Last year, it became clear once again how important collaboration with start-ups is for the progress of established companies. In a world characterised by technological advances and new business models, start-ups in particular offer fresh ideas, agility and a spirit of innovation that have the potential to transform entire industries. Whether in the fields of artificial intelligence, sustainable technologies or digital platforms – partnerships with young, dynamic companies have not only produced exciting projects, but also paved the way for long-term innovation.

Startups from the Magility network on the road to success

In our experience, most start-ups have a strong technical understanding of their product. However, they often lack a clear strategy on how to efficiently tap into the target market and realise the maximum benefit there.

With our expertise in the area of go-to-market, we support start-ups in transforming their technology into concrete market successes. One example from 2024 is an Israeli start-up that we have successfully placed in a promising market and with which we are now in the proof-of-concept phase.

We also supported a local German start-up that is highly complementary to the Israeli AI start-up. By networking the two companies, we were able to develop clear unique selling points (USPs) in their respective market positioning. Our extensive industrial contact network enables us to open initial doors for reference customers and drive forward the implementation of the identified go-to-market strategies in a targeted manner.

The outlook for 2025: trade fairs and events

This year, we will once again intensify our personal meetings and presence at industry events. Our agenda is already packed with exciting trade fairs, colloquia and events.

Here are some of the highlights where you can meet us:

  • Corporate Mobility Conference (CMXC): We look forward to talking to you about the future of mobility.
  • Power2Drive Europe in Munich: In May, we will be an exhibitor at Smarter E Europe and are looking forward to exciting discussions, particularly with fleet managers, on topics such as energy transformation in fleet management.
  • Vienna Motor Symposium May 2025: A little later, we will be part of this important industry get-together. On 15 May in the Ceremonial Hall of the Vienna Hofburg with the presentation ‘Truck to Zero: Strategic Rollout and Heavy Electric Trucks in 24/7 Operation. Drivers and challenges for the industrial transformation.’
  • Trade fairs at Messe Stuttgart: Numerous exciting events are planned – more detailed information will follow soon.
