For the fifth time since 2000, Automotive News honors 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry.

The Automotive News PACE program honors superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance among automotive suppliers. Judged by an independent panel of technologists, they are recognized around the world as the industry benchmark for innovation. If you are a traditional or non-traditional supplier, or a startup, the PACE program provides you an opportunity to showcase your “game changing” innovation by submitting an application for evaluation by our independent panel of more than 20 judges.   
 

For 26 years, the Automotive News PACE Awards have heralded the industry’s best commercialized game-changing innovations. The increased tempo of change has been driving vast innovation in processes, products and systems that are through the pilot phase, but have not been brought to market.
