European cities are tackling critical issues such as congestion, air quality, and sustainable urbandevelopment. Forming successful partnerships between cities and mobility innovators is essential to address these challenges. However, such collaborations are often hindered by obstacles like cultural differences, complex tender procedures, and bureaucratic barriers.
This seminar is particularly relevant for policymakers, strategists, consultants, and politicians from cities and regions, as well as for entrepreneurs, developers, and managers from start- and scale-ups working on the deployment of smart, connected new mobility services in an urban context.
