Future Mobility just participated in the International Mobility Data Summit 2024 in Montreal, bringing mobility innovators from all over the world together. The summit highlighted the critical role that mobility data and standardization play in shaping the future of sustainable transportation.
Our Program Director, Hans Pohl, shared the stage with experts like Madeline Zhu from the U.S. Department of Transportation in a panel titled "How Governments Encourage Collaboration to Leverage Learning Across Communities and Countries." The conversation focused on how collaboration is driving innovations in mobility solutions across borders.
In another session Steven Jones from the Alabama Transportation Institute, shared insights into the Future Mobility-funded project Transit-Oriented Development and Shared Autonomous Vehicles, in which his team in collaboration with Royal Institute of Technology aim to decarbonize transportation and build innovative mobility hubs in both nations.
A standout moment came when Albert Benedict from SUMC presented another Future Mobility-funded innovation project, Women-Centered Mobility Hub project, focusing on inclusive mobility solutions that respond to the unique needs of women and caregivers.
Also present at the summit was Subhro Guhathakurta, from Georgia Institute of Technology. He noted that he was at first surprised to get a project mentor from the Future Mobility Advisory Board and then very happy about it. Among others, it made him discover this summit. His team collaborates with Lund University in a project funded by Future Mobility named Just Future.
Future Mobility is an innovation platform aimed at connecting Swedish and American actors to collaborate on sustainable mobility. The program was launched in 2022 and is run by Lindholmen Science Park and Vinnova. We fund strategic projects where at least one American and one Swedish organization collaborate to advance sustainable mobility.
