“Car sharing seems to be a bit under represented on the European mobility scene, compared to other mobility solutions. Bringing together such a diverse group of speakers and attendees opens up an opportunity to share knowledge and results, potentially creating synergies”

“Car sharing seems to be a bit under represented on the European mobility scene, compared to other mobility solutions. Bringing together such a diverse group of speakers and attendees opens up an opportunity to share knowledge and results, potentially creating synergies,” said Marko Horvat, Sustainable Mobility Officer at ICLEI and also a speaker at the event.

With the aim of “getting Europe up to speed,” the speakers will provide their insights and participate in innovation-focused workshops together, helping to reduce traffic congestion and make cities more liveable.
