Mobility and Digitization

Technologies and Sustainability #2

Mobility and Digitization

Driving the transition towards a smart and sustainable mobility is one of the key requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move closer towards the future of mobility. Adopted in 2020 by the European Commission in the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, digitization is considered an essential enabler to transform mobility; becoming more efficient, accessible, and sustainable.

E-vehicles come in different types. They include all-electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). To further increase the acceptance of EVs by a broader community, accessibility of charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. Aside from their primary use as transportation, they may also be used for backup power grid services or electricity markets, which leads to more energy resilience and stability. The combination of mobility and digitization creates unique challenges and new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship, unlocking the potential of mobility data by facilitating access and sharing. This includes, for example, information about optimal placement of chargers, best charging practices, charging technology, charger availability and smart charging. In turn, this results in better charge pricing for the consumer and provider.

Join us on June 26, 2023 from 3 pm – 8 pm (time zone Berlin, Germany) to learn about the different aspects of mobility and digitization provided by our high-level speakers from industry and R&D. The workshop will be held in English online via Zoom.

Join the workshop and learn more about the topics we holistically address with Society6.0 Network for Socio-Economic Disruption.
