Speaker 1: So we're seeing a number of challenges faced by automotive businesses at this moment in time. One of the most important factors for them to focus on is the sustainability element, the impact of that is having on purchasing departments, quality departments, compliance departments, all of these business units across the board. I mean that, it's a really important piece and getting it right is becoming more and more challenging. It's not just about, you know, doing something net zero. It's about making sure that the parts that you're sourcing, being procured in the right way, how they get to you as well as the actual materials that are being used. Another challenge that we're seeing is increased complexity. So with the advent of autonomous vehicles, trends in AI, being involved in automotive, the electrification of drive chains, this means for the number of businesses, the designers within each of those units are having to work harder and harder and also collaborate more effectively in order to be able to deliver these projects previously, you would typically you'd have mechanical design engineers and one office electrical and another both using disparate systems, not speaking to one another having to pull it all together in the One of the ways that we help people overcome that by providing collaboration tools that are compatible with both pieces of software or, individual pieces of software, allowing people to work in a multi CAD environment by doing so, they're able to reduce the number of errors, reduce the time to market and therefore increase the profitability of the projects that we're working on. Another challenge we're seeing an increased demand for is the reduced time to market it's so, so important now, particularly with these electric vehicles of being the first one to market, I mean, Tesla has got there primarily for the most part, but now it's all about niche vehicles, people that are working in spaces like last mile delivery in urban environments, the requirements to lower emissions in theirs in those environments mean that people are racing to become the first mover of that. The challenge that puts on them and the burden that means they have to carry is that they need to work quickly and effectively, and they can't afford to make lots of errors That's compounded by the fact that that startups so limited resources at the best of times, what we try and do to help these types of businesses is connect their engineering processes through the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Trends that I'm expecting to see grow over the next few years in the automotive sector are switched to more sustainable fuels, wether that'd be biomass. Hydrogen fuels, electrification. All of these routes are being heavily explored at this moment in time by a number of our customers.
