OV Congress 2024

The mobility field is changing rapidly. While traditional public transport buses once dominated accessibility, today's society demands more flexible transport solutions. Public mobility is on the rise, integrating services like flexible transport, contract transport and shared mobility - all of which will come together at vibrant mobility hubs.

But how far have we come in transitioning from public transport to a truly integrated public mobility system? Join us at the OV Congress on 14 November, where our line of speakers will explore the current state, the challenges, and the innovative ideas and solutions that are coming together to shape the future of mobility.

Willem Frederik Metzelaar, Head of EIT Urban Mobility Innovation Hub West, will be at the OV Congress presenting 'The key to sustainable cities: Accelerating mobility transition through innovation'.

As cities continue to grow, they face significant challenges related to pollution, safety, and inclusiveness. Many are working hard to improve their mobility mix, focusing on active mobility and expanding public transport options. EIT Urban Mobility embraces an open collaboration model, partnering with diverse stakeholders to bring the best ideas to the table. In this session, Willem Frederik Metzelaar will demonstrate how an integrated approach to mobility can drive the transition toward sustainable and liveable cities.
