On February 7, we hosted the 11th International Conference on Mobility Challenges, where we engaged with leading academics, stakeholders from the automotive industry, civil society, and public services on the challenges of inclusively decarbonizing transport, developing our European industry, and avoiding inefficiencies. This diverse mix consistently provided fertile ground for valuable insights, new connections, and fresh questions and ambitions.

We warmly thank all participants.

Here is the content of the program and access to some of the presentations.
