Qatar University and the e-mobility division of consultancy Ernst & Young have joined Qatar’s upcoming Autonomous E-Mobility Forum as partners for the event.
Qatar University’s School of Engineering will participate as an academic partner while Ernst & Young will be an advisory partner to the forum which takes place in Doha, Qatar,from April 30 to May 2 2024.
The Autonomous e-Mobility Forum will help the country’s efforts to establish sustainable and intelligent mobility solutions as part of the government’s Qatar National Vision 2030. By that year, according to the government, Qatar hopes to be “an advanced society capable of sustaining its development and providing a high standard of living for its people”.
It will assemble senior officials, policy and technology experts, including speakers and representatives from government, industry, academia, the media and hundreds of attendees. It will be hosted by the Ministry of Transport of the State of Qatar and held under the patronage of His Excellency, Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, minister of transport, who will also be a speaker.
Qatar’s National Vision defines the long-term goals for the country and provides a framework in which national strategies and implementation plans can be developed.
The three-day forum will be held at the Qatar National Convention Centre in the centre of Education City.
The first two days will be formal conference speaker sessions with a focus on sustainable mobility from a technology, research and policy perspective. The following third day is devoted to two “eco-system tours” associated with sustainable transport initiatives. Conference attendees can visit the Lusail Electric Bus Depot – the world’s largest – and Hamad Port, the world’s largest greenfield port development project.
Meanwhile, a gala dinner and awards ceremony will highlight companies that have shown exceptional progress through academic advancements and innovative, sustainable technology. Tickets for the entire event can be purchased at www.aemobforum.com
