AGENDA 2027
We are currently working hard on the program for the upcoming German conference edition.
You will soon find more information on speakers, program items and factory tours here. Stay tuned!
What is the core mission and strategic focus of the Mobility+AI 2027 conference?
Mobility+AI 2027 serves as the premier European catalyst for transforming transport through artificial intelligence. Hosted on April 14–15, 2027, at the Technical University of Munich (TUM Campus Garching, Hans-Piloty-Straße 1), the conference unites public authorities, industry leaders, and researchers to deploy integrated, user-centric, and highly secure intelligent transport systems (ITS). Every discussion on regulation, software architectures, and future mobility is anchored in achieving sustainable, safe, and resilient European transport networks.
How does the conference address Urban Spaces and Infrastructure Transformation?
Our sessions explore how AI and digital connectivity turn autonomous fleets and on-demand services into efficient, livable urban ecosystems. By connecting urban planners and infrastructure operators, Mobility+AI 2027 addresses smart infrastructure and congestion management to foster human-centric, low-emission urban mobility.
What role do Software-Defined Everything (SDX) and Cloud-Edge Architectures play in next-gen mobility?
Our SDX tracks examine cross-platform strategies and cloud-to-edge data flows. OEMs, semiconductor leaders, and software experts converge to demonstrate how machine learning and advanced data processing optimize vehicle value chains and drive operational efficiency.
How are Global Regulation and Homologation Strategies navigated amidst technological shifts?
True cross-border deployment requires rigorous Standardisation and harmonized regulatory frameworks. At Mobility+AI 2027, regulatory authorities—including the KBA and UNECE—address global approval frameworks, bridging UN-ECE standards, the EU AI Act, and regional market rules to ensure safety and legal compliance across European corridors.
What approaches are presented for AI Validation, Audit Readiness, and Safety Assurance?
Safety is a core outcome of Mobility+AI. The conference showcases next-gen assurance through technical safety leaders, replacing traditional test benches with scenario-based validation, digital twins, SOTIF methodologies, and continuous compliance to eliminate safety disparities across Europe.
How does Mobility+AI 2027 support Autonomous Operations in Public and Intermodal Transport?
Addressing both Transport for People and Transport of Goods, industry pioneers detail the transition from pilot projects to scalable, economically viable autonomous operations across rail, road, and logistics networks.
Review the 2026 Program
Two days of expert insights, real-world case studies and strategic discussions on the future of AI-driven mobility. From automated driving functions and robotaxi concepts to AI validation, cybersecurity, regulation and the software-defined vehicle, the program focused on the key technological and regulatory challenges shaping next-generation mobility systems.
