During the first day, the European project iMobility Challenge will run an eco-driving competition. A professional racing driver will set a score based on his eco-driving abilities that participants will attempt to beat during the rest of the congress.

Day two includes the plenary session "Enabling wider markets for mobility as a service", the second Ministerial Roundtable and special interest and technical scientific sessions.  Hear from ITS specialists dealing with extreme weather conditions on day three and join ITS colleagues for a special Finnish social evening.  The congress concludes on day four with the conclusions session and third plenary session.
