Autonomous Mobility & Smart Transport: Technology, Safety and Social Inclusion

In today’s world, the need for sustainable and smart mobility has become a central priority for Europe. Cities and regions face pressing challenges such as climate change, urban congestion, and the reduction of emissions. Against this backdrop, technological advancements open new possibilities for efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly transport solutions.

This event focuses on the role of Autonomous Mobility and Digital Infrastructures in shaping modern transport networks that serve both densely populated urban areas and remote communities. The aim is to promote sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind in terms of the green and digital transition.

A key priority is the development of inclusive transport systems, designed to address the needs of people with disabilities and vulnerable groups, while improving everyday life for all citizens.

Greece is still at an early but rapidly evolving stage in the field of autonomous mobility. The development of digital platforms and next-generation networks is laying the foundations for smart transport ecosystems that can transform mobility in both cities and regions.

• How can smart infrastructure technologies upgrade public transport, making it more sustainable and efficient?
• What strategies can be applied in transport systems to secure inclusive mobility?
• What lessons can we learn from European best practices, and how could they be adapted to the Greek context?
