ABOUT TMWC

Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress (TMWC) is the ultimate event to accelerate sustainable and intelligent urban mobility. Our goal is to act as a global benchmark for the mobility and transport sector, combining an ever-growing leading event with an all-year-round digital platform and an innovation hub attracting the industry’s key players.

MAKE YOUR MOVE MATTER

Join the urban mobility revolution
You’ve heard the adage: when talking about sustainability, every action matters, every move counts. Despite efforts, transportation is still the fastest-growing source of pollution globally, accounting for 23% share of global emissions in 2022, according to the International Energy Agency. What’s more, projections from different sources indicate an increase in emissions in the coming years, if no immediate adjustments are implemented. And yet there is still hope: new models promoting a zero-emission and connected, cooperative, and automated mobility; more sustainable urban logistics; enhanced public transport; and multimodal networks boosting a more active and efficient way of moving across the city. These options, coupled with inclusivity policies and a combined effort for a smooth transition to net-zero economies are empowering a real urban mobility revolution.
Both low and high-technology solutions driving innovation are at the front line of this new transportation paradigm. From electric vehicles, energy intelligence including hydrogen and batteries, to Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and autonomous driving, digital twins, or blockchain, but also women empowerment in urban mobility or tactical urbanism. Local governments must, now more than ever, make sure to build our cities with a human-centric focus. The ride for a cleaner, greener, and better urban mobility future has just begun. The Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress (TMWC), to be held 7-9 November 2023 in Barcelona, will bring together industry executives, government leaders, and global experts to address these crucial challenges the transportation sector is facing and display effective and proven solutions to go beyond green and make your move matter for cities and the planet. Thought leaders, urban planners, and industry drivers are on a journey to transform the way we move across our cities and improve their liveability. Only by embracing innovative solutions and leveraging technology for people do we have the potential to improve urban mobility, making it clean, safer, more efficient, and citizen-focused. TMWC is the place to join this movement and make your move matter to a better urban mobility.

A COLLABORATION TO PUSH
THE INDUSTRY FORWARD

TMWC is created in collaboration between Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility – an initiative of the EU’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), the largest European initiative transforming urban Mobility.

SUSTAINABILITY & DIVERSITY

TMWC is dedicated to helping make urban mobility more sustainable and inclusive of all citizens, and the event always seeks to lead by example. Take a look at the best pratices we’ve put in place to reduce our environmental footprint, enhance equity, and promote green consciousness at this year’s event.

CO-LOCATED EVENTS

Be sure to check out the events held at Fira de Barcelona in parallel with TMWC, all of which support each other and reinforce the smart city ecosystem.
Smart City Expo World Congress is the international leading event for cities. Through promoting social innovation and identifying collaboration opportunities, the event is dedicated to creating a better future for cities and their citizens.
The new global event empowering the green and digital transition of buildings and urban infrastructure.
Tomorrow.Blue Economy is the new global summit dedicated to promoting and developing the potential of the Blue Economy. It will celebrate its first edition within the framework of Smart City Expo World Congress 2022.
PUZZLE X is the first convening forum to bridge the world of Frontier Materials, societal impact, entrepreneurship, venture building, corporate innovation, bleeding edge of material science and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to facilitate the use the materials of the future to help our world today.

Mobility Data Spaces

Establishing governance structures and policies, including their associated business models, is a key step to enabling data sharing and unlocking the potential of mobility data to enable and/or improve sustainable mobility services (international rail travel, in-car data powering insurance, or traffic management, for instance). Connecting different mobility data ecosystems in a secure way (cybersecurity) will provide better tailored, higher quality mobility services.

Inclusivity, Affordability & Fariness

A major aspect to design the future of mobility is inclusivity policies to benefit all population groups and don’t leave anyone behind: from gender equality in transport planning and operations to redesigning services for an ageing society (15-minute cities), reducing transit deserts (transport on-demand), safer street designs that enhance children’s autonomy, or policies that have the potential to reduce transport poverty.

Connected, Cooperative
& Automated Mobility

To enable the adoption of automated vehicles for passengers and goods, it’s necessary to allow the exchange of information among vehicles and the road infrastructure. The accelerated deployment of 5G connectivity corridors, artificial intelligence and semiconductors, cybersecurity for resilient digital infrastructures, is very important. Enhanced last-mile logistics can benefit from CCAM applications, as well as more efficient public transport network operations.

Sustainable Urban Logistics

Last mile urban logistics must gain higher levels of efficiency through concepts like the better integration of ports and cities, new delivery models, pick-up points, shared goods services, digitalization of the logistics value chain, or new models to improve reverse logistics due to new customer e-commerce habits. Logistics can benefit from the deployment of technologies like electrification, and artificial intelligence for route optimization and demand prediction.

Multimodality

Better travel options for citizens capable of reducing private car ownership, such as multimodal e-ticketing and payments systems, enabling multimodal travel services that integrate public transport and micromobility for better end-to-end traveler experience will power data for multimodal traffic management integrating information from the public, private-own and private-shared fleets. Such integrations can optimize transport networks and nudge travelers’ behavior towards more sustainable choices.

Urban Air Mobility

While policies and user acceptance enabling UAM still suggest the medium to long term horizon for passengers, several use cases are emerging for air mobility: freight distribution in geofenced areas like ports or industrial parks, event management, or emergency response coordination. For such use cases, eVTOLs and drones can cater to specific use-cases and add value to our existing transport systems.

Energy Transition

As the transition to net-zero economies accelerates, different models of energy storage compete to power electric vehicles: battery technology aims to optimize dependency on specific scarce materials, while green hydrogen emerges as an alternative that can guarantee sovereignty in energy supply. Energy communities based on local generation, vehicle-grid integration and smart management systems are also key. Ramping up recycling capacity will be crucial to leverage the benefits of circular economy for the energy transition.

Active Mobility

In 2021 bicycle and e-bike sales reached an all-time record in the EU, with over 22 million units sold. In that year, total sales of bicycles and e-bikes increased 7.5% in comparison with 2020, reaching almost €20bn. This trend, together with the growth in popularity of micromobility services, gives a boost to active mobility in our cities. Combined with journeys by foot, it makes a significant contribution to quieter and cleaner streets, while directly improving citizens’ health.
