Founded in 2014, XPeng is a one of China’s fastest growing electric car developers, having launched two years after Tesla’s Model S. The automaker has begun its international expansion hoping to bring electric cars to the masses and aims to revolutionize the technology of transport along the way.
Today, innovation is advancing at greater speed than ever. From transport to agriculture, from medicine to automation, not one area of our lives is untouched by technological advancement. It’s an extraordinary time for innovation and it seems to be at the heart of virtually everything we do, including at Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich). In order to keep thinking like a 150-year-old start-up, Zurich encourages individuals and corporations to embrace fresh ideas and fresh input. Both from within an organization, but also through partnership and collaboration.
