XII Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges

Research, industry and public administration meet to explore how data and AI are reshaping the automotive sector and urban mobility.
About this Event

Data & AI: Unlocking the Future of the Automotive Sector and Urban Mobility

Vehicles are becoming software-defined, data-generating machines, and cities are turning into dense networks of sensors, services and decisions. Artificial intelligence now sits at the intersection of both worlds: it powers connected and automated vehicles, optimises traffic in real time, and gives public administrations new tools to plan, evaluate and govern the automotive landscape.

The 2026 edition examines how data and AI are reshaping the automotive value chain, and how academic, industry and city ecosystems align through shared digital platforms. When research institutions, companies and public administrations work on common data and AI infrastructure, they coordinate decisions, share evidence and deploy these technologies in real urban contexts more effectively, ensuring that AI-driven innovation is efficient, sustainable and trustworthy.

What to expect

Sessions and panel discussions with speakers from research centres, automotive companies and public administrations. Case studies on connected and automated vehicles, real-time traffic optimisation and shared data platforms. Networking with stakeholders working across the mobility ecosystem.
