TAKEAWAYS OF #TMWC21

Nothing compares to in-person events

Held just as the world returned to face-to-face events, #TMWC21 was a huge success. Its pilot edition brought together international players from across the mobility sector and provided “the perfect stage to have the kind of discussion that we need to have in order to build the cities that we want to see” according to Janette Sadik-Khan, Former NYC Transport Commissioner.

A hotspot for collaboration and creative problem solving

“Being part of Tomorrow.Mobility is essential to boost synergies and exchange ideas between mobility providers,” claimed Fernando Echegaray, Deputy Executive Officer at Groupe Aéroports de Paris. We couldn’t agree more. From public transport and automotive to carsharing and collaborative models, TMWC became a hub for solutions to the sector’s main issues.

The pandemic has given us the opportunity to reimagine everything

Including urban mobility. How can railway stations foster stability in cities? What will the autonomous future look like, and who exactly is in charge? The expert voices at the Congress came together to answer questions and provide a new, inspiring vision of transport for the cities of tomorrow.
