It's not just an exhibition of supercars and innovative projects, but a veritable laboratory of ideas for the future of automotive design. It's the Autostyle Design Competition, an international event that also rewards young talent from design schools, under the aegis of Berman Spa boss Roberto Artioli. It's also a great opportunity to discover the trends that will influence the automotive world over the next few years, and to be among the jurors at the event (limited numbers and by invitation only), which this year takes place on 24 and 25 October at Villa Schiarino, Italy.

What is the Autostyle Design Competition? Now in its twenty-first year, the Autostyle Design Competition is an international event dedicated to automotive design , organised by Berman, an automotive parts manufacturer based in San Benedetto Po, Mantua, which produces parts for the cars we see on the roads every day, as well as for supercars and luxury cars. Since its first edition, Autostyle has been a reference point for the automotive industry , bringing together designers, managers and enthusiasts to explore the latest trends in styling. In a way, it is now the most important event dedicated to styling innovations of the year.

Lately, in addition to automotive design, other sectors have been included, to show the similarities and differences. For example, watchmaking and jewellery, eyewear, motorbikes, trucks and, this year, boating. The Autostyle opening conference hosted by Professor Alessio Tommaset.
