CARNET will bring together speakers from the industrial sector and the academic world, to present their knowledge of new technologies and the latest innovations related to mobility.

In recent years, the mobility industry has undergone very rapid changes. The vertiginous speed at which key technologies are advancing in areas of the sector, such as connected autonomous vehicles, electrification, and new mobility services, creates a very fertile environment for the emergence of start-ups with innovative, disruptive ideas.

Right now, COVID-19 is having a major impact on the way we live and move, on cities and on society as a whole. While researchers work to develop a vaccine, patterns of mobility are shifting, mainly towards transport modes that are considered the safest and most hygienic to prevent an outbreak of the pandemic. This transformation opens up a discussion on what trends should emerge in the near future for urban mobility.

This year, our Symposium will be influenced by our present times, as the focus will be centred on the opportunities for new urban mobility start-ups, innovation in last-mile urban logistics, and mobility trends after COVID-19.
