Pair this with the tremendous costs of congestion worldwide and the health impacts of transportation-related air pollution, today’s transportation systems are far from sustainable.

From e-scooters, to ride hailing apps to electric vehicles, a seismic transformation in underway within the transportation sector. Join us for a discussion about the vast opportunity that exists for entrepreneurs interested in making the transportation space more sustainable.

Attendees will leave the event with an understanding of:
• The potential for a sustainable mobility future
• The rapid innovation underway within the transportation sector
• Challenges facing local governments, businesses and NGOs working to make mobility more sustainable
• Opportunities for entrepreneurs to make more sustainable transportation a reality
