"We have recognized more than 220 people as Rising Stars in the last 12 years and many of them are leading our industry through its most dramatic transition ever. We expect the same from this year's winners."
     
    The prestigious Automotive News Europe Rising Stars awards are jointly presented with our exclusive lead sponsor, Capgemini and our partner, Mercuri Urval.

    Each winner received a trophy designed by Pininfarina.
