A collaboration between Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility – an initiative of the EU’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) - it focuses on decarbonisation, public transport and urban air mobility, with presentations covering topics such as finding funding for mobility solutions.

It is held alongside Smart City Expo World Congress, the international summit on cities and smart urban solutions.
