Copenhagen – famous for its cycling inhabitants - will host a major meeting on transport.
The International Mobility Summit will be held in the Danish capital 20-24 September, and again next year, convening thinkers and policy makers to discuss a broad range of topics.
Electronomous, the organisation behind the event, has issued a call for speakers and abstracts.
The hybrid meeting will consist of five virtual days and one in-person. It will cover eight tracks: automation, sustainable transport, the European Year of rail 2021, micro-mobility, electro-mobility, urban logistics, Mobility as a Service, smart cities, connectivity, and data sharing.
The organisers are working closely with Copenhagen convention bureau and its innovative Copenhagen Legacy Lab initiative on ways to ensure the summit has a lasting impact on the city.
Lars Weiss, Lord Mayor of the City of Copenhagen said: “As the capital city of one of the world’s leading countries within the field of mobility and sustainability, Copenhagen is an ideal location for this event. We are sure that all delegates, whether attending virtually or physically, will have an unforgettable summit experience and take home many memories from our vibrant metropolis.”
Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen - the official tourism & convention organisation for the Capital Region of Denmark, added: "We are especially proud to welcome Electronomous – The International Mobility Summit to our great city in both 2021 and 2022. Our destination is not only one of the most popular convention cities in the world, but also a frontrunner within staging sustainable events and creating legacy programmes, and a city that offers substantial expertise and experience in hosting high profile events."
Keith Whelan, Event Director of Electronomous, said: “It is our mission to bring policy makers, thought leaders and industries together to help to createmore liveable cities, future mobility and sustainable transport. Choosing Copenhagen as the home for our event was a strategic decision by our team as the buzzing capital is not only a beautiful city but with their CPH 2025 Climate Plan, they plan to be the first capital city in the world to be carbon neutral by 2025.”
