Movement shapes our living spaces. That is why we see clever mobility solutions as the route into the future. What will we choose: getting stuck or moving forward? Find out more about current trends such as e-mobility and autonomous driving and hear from innovation drivers about what to expect in the years to come.
By 2050, around 70 percent of the global population will live in cities. Even today, urban areas are growing rapidly — becoming denser, more complex, and more diverse. This development poses significant challenges for urban planning, infrastructure, and resource management, and further increases the pressure on already limited space.
To ensure that cities remain livable and safe in the future, we need new ideas and innovative solutions. A key lever in this transformation is mobility: it must be reimagined and designed sustainably to meet the needs of growing urban populations.
At the same time, rural areas must not be left behind. They, too, require affordable and reliable mobility solutions that allow people to remain flexible without depending on a private car.
This is exactly where the Digital Hub Mobility comes in. Together with its partners and the unique ecosystem of UnternehmerTUM, the hub drives essential future topics forward: from electromobility and charging infrastructure, autonomous driving, and intelligent parking management to climate-positive urban districts, intermodal and shared mobility — and many other innovation fields that are crucial for sustainable mobility.
