SPEAKER TRACKS

TRACK 1:
PEOPLE

In the People track of the Summit, we delve into the transformative ways through which individuals will move in our cities and across continents in the near future.

This track covers everything from advances in public transportation systems to the rise of autonomous vehicles and personal mobility devices. We will explore the implications of these innovations on urban planning, accessibility, and the everyday commute.

Join world leaders, innovators, and policymakers as they discuss how to make personal mobility more efficient, inclusive, and environmentally friendly.

TRACK 2: GOODS

The Goods track focuses on the future of transporting products around the globe.

As e-commerce continues to grow and consumer expectations shift towards faster, more sustainable delivery options, the logistics and supply chain industries face unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

This track will feature discussions on the latest trends in freight, shipping, and last-mile delivery solutions, including autonomous trucks, drone delivery systems, and digital platforms that optimize logistics networks.

Learn how startups and established companies are innovating to keep goods moving efficiently and sustainably.

TRACK 3: ENERGY

The Energy track at the CO.MOBILITY Summit is dedicated to the vital role of energy in powering the next generation of transport technologies.

With a focus on sustainability, speakers will address the shift towards renewable energy sources, the development of electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and the infrastructure needed to support them.

Discussions will cover advancements in battery technology, the integration of smart grids, and the importance of energy efficiency in reducing the environmental impact of mobility.

Discover how energy innovation is driving the transition to a cleaner, greener future of transportation.

TRACK 4: DATA

In our increasingly connected world, data is the backbone that supports the evolution of mobility.

The Data track will explore how data analytics, artificial intelligence, and quantum technology are transforming the way we understand and manage movement.

From optimizing traffic flow to enhancing vehicle safety and enabling smart city initiatives, data is at the heart of making mobility solutions more intelligent and responsive.

Attendees will hear from experts on the challenges of data privacy, security, and the ethical use of technology in creating connected ecosystems that benefit everyone.
