Taking place on 4-5 June 2024, the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland, will bring together decision-makers, solution providers and thought leaders from across the Nordic and Baltic region to discuss the future of public transport and shared mobility in cities.
As the Nordics pioneer the mainstreaming of environmental and social sustainability within urban mobility policy and practice, the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit explores the trends, challenges, and solutions that will define urban mobility in the coming years – ranging from the role of data analytics in public transport networks to multimodality and last-mile solutions promoting active mobility, from electric and driverless bus fleets and ferries to MaaS and the seamless integration of shared mobility.
By connecting city officials, public transport authorities and operators, shared-mobility companies, researchers, experts and innovators from across the Nordic and Baltic region, the summit will be an exclusive forum to hear from leading innovators, get insights from cutting-edge research, engage in workshops and spark new project ideas and collaborations with peers from across the sector.
Join the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit on 4-5 June 2024 to explore, discuss and shape the future of public transport and shared mobility in cities.
The event is co-hosted by EIT Urban Mobility, Aalto University, City of Helsinki and Forum Virium Helsinki.
