Strategic Disruption: Innovation, Talent and Cybersecurity is incorporated as a new itinerary for the Global Mobility Call congress

Global Mobility Call, the world's leading event on sustainable mobility, adds a new discussion track to its panel: Strategic Disruption: The Innovation, Talent and Cybersecurity track will examine global initiatives that are driving innovation in the mobility ecosystem. It will also explore the transformative role of emerging technologies and digital innovation in shaping the future of transport and mobility, both in terms of people and goods.

The Strategic Disruption: Innovation, Talent and Cyber track offers a comprehensive overview of global initiatives that are driving innovation within the sustainable mobility ecosystem. The event will host a high level of international representation, with delegates from a range of countries and continents contributing a global perspective to the discussions.

Please refer to the detailed information on this new Global Mobility Call.

The tour will address the mission of the Horizon Programmes to foster transformative advances in mobility in both urban and rural areas. The programme will facilitate discussion on how these innovations are reshaping communities and promoting sustainable growth. The role of data, artificial intelligence and 'digital twin' technology in the mobility planning revolution will also be examined, along with the key factors influencing investments in sustainable mobility by private equity and seed capital experts.

The Innovation Strand will benefit from the valuable support of Bable and the Fraunhofer Institute. Their expertise in the integration of smart infrastructure and renewable energies will be a valuable addition to the project. Furthermore, the City Council of Las Rozas will be holding an awards ceremony to recognise the achievements of the TOP INNOVATOR company of the GMC 2024 edition, Celering.

The second day will concentrate on the part played by managerial talent in driving change, innovation and security in this sector, which is undergoing significant evolution. In this section, Board & Leaders has been instrumental in defining the strategic issues on the agenda of senior executives in the sector. The sessions will equip attendees with the insight and skills required to navigate the complexities of this emerging ecosystem.

In conclusion, the 'Cyber Morning' sessions scheduled for 21 November will address the cybersecurity challenges associated with connected mobility systems. This chapter will host prominent international figures from the sector, with support from Tecnalia, Women4Cyber and Sernauto. The event will address strategies for safeguarding data, infrastructure and privacy against digital threats.

In addition to the itinerary, GMC will be hosting an innovation exhibition area, which will feature the participation of startups from a variety of mobility sectors, including electric charging solutions, mobility apps, mobility-to-work services, data processing, and cybersecurity. The event will also feature a networking space provided by the Madrid+D Foundation. This will include a brokerage for 1-to-1 meetings and a workshop on the morning of the 20th on data spaces and digitalisation. The latter will explore mobility to work as a use case and present services with a high technological and digitalisation content.
