ITS Europe and Topos Aquitaine have signed the contract for the 6456 ITS World Congress 2015. Alain Rousset, president of Bordeaux Region, and founding member of Topos Aquitaine, the satellite application cluster of Aquitaine, and  Anne Marie Keiser, VP of the Conseil general de Gironde and president of Gironde Numerique, witnessed André Perpey, president of Topos and Gunter Zimmermeyer, 374 Ertico chairman, sign the agreement to host the 22th ITS World Congress in Bordeaux in 2015, under the theme “More ITS for greener mobility”.

Bordeaux has been an ITS pioneer since the 1980s and is home to several ITS research centres – ensuring a full and varied technical visit programme. Moreover, Bordeaux is a green city, offering eco-friendly forms of multi-modal transport. The 2015 ITS World Congress will focus on how mobility can be “greened” through the deployment of ITS solutions.

“With a superb location and a strong transport industry, dedicated political and industry support, I believe Bordeaux will make the ITS Congress a great success,” Zimmermeyer commented. “There is a lot of work ahead, but I am convinced that the 2015 ITS World Congress in Bordeaux will be another milestone towards deployment of ITS not only in Europe but worldwide.”
