Accelerating the global transition to safer, cleaner and more inclusive transportation systems, optimizing the delivery of goods and ensuring easy access to mobility for everyone.
Mobility – the movement of people and goods – provides access to jobs, education, healthcare and trade. Yet today’s mobility systems cannot meet future demand without increasing congestion and pollution. We are seeking to change that by providing a platform where business leaders can partner with policy-makers to develop a global mobility system that is safe, clean and inclusive.
The world’s population will swell to 10 billion by 2050. In the face of this rapid growth, mobility systems in megacities are being overstretched while rural areas are falling further behind. How can sustainable and inclusive mobility be ensured?
Cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs), biometrics and drones are creating opportunities to transform mobility by enabling innovative business models and mobility services for new and changing customer demographics.
Our Platform brings the world’s major mobility companies together with key stakeholders across all sectors to create mobility systems and guidelines that meet 21st-century demands.
