Survival of the fittest? How the future modal split will change the roles and business models of OEMs
22.05.2024 I 11.00 - 12.30 a.m. I visionSTAGE
Shaping the future and paving new paths are special entrepreneurial tasks. Applied to multinational OEMs, this means charting an almost unmanageable course and pursuing visions that have an effective impact on various business areas. What does this mean for the self-image of OEMs? How can the complex value chains be trimmed for sustainability? And how can strategic alliances be used to open up new areas of impact and business?

What now, industry?! When industries need to transform
22.05.2024 I 17.15 - 18.00 I visionSTAGE
The decarbonisation of transport and energy is presenting industries with major upheavals. At the same time, they have to deal with skills shortages and energy crises, while demands for a green and sustainable economy are challenging established business practices. Companies are having to compete in new markets and consolidation is on the horizon. In this context, we talk to decision-makers from the public and private sectors in the energy and automotive industries about the question: How do we shape this transformation for a liveable city of tomorrow?

Be and stay courageous: Municipal action strategies in turbulent times
22.05.2024 I 17.00 - 18.00 I openSTAGE
Whether due to court judgements, citizens' decisions, political blockades or simple majority losses: innovative transport concepts that have been years in the making often fail at almost the last second. For those who want to initiate change and drive the transformation forward, setbacks like these are not only politically frustrating, but also personally frustrating. Municipal colleagues discuss which corridors of action remain open despite this and how to continue to courageously drive change.

New paths for the mobility turnaround! What infrastructure does eco-mobility need?
23.05.2024 I 15.45 - 16.45 I openSSTAGE
The mobility transition is a nationwide infrastructure project of historic dimensions. From rail networks to road and cycle path construction to mobility hubs: across Germany, municipalities and transport companies are facing enormous investments to put eco-mobility in the fast lane. How do we get on track towards achieving climate targets? Do we need new political objectives for the expansion and modernisation of infrastructure? And is the existing room for manoeuvre and financial framework already sufficient to achieve them?

It's that time again - the third polisMOBILITY conference begins and opens up two days of intensive exchange and discussion on the urban mobility of tomorrow! We have a clear position: the transport sector must also fulfil the climate targets. After a brief welcome from the polisMOBILITY hosts, we will set the scene for this with Friedemann Karig. Because the message of every powerful story is that change is possible and good. What should a strong narrative look like and what roles should be assigned?

Why mobility transitions do not begin with mobility: Meredith Glaser (Urban Cycling Institute/ Ghent University)
Prof. Dr. Meredith Glaser, CEO/ Professor of Cycling
23.05.2024 I 11.45 - 12.30 Uhr I openSTAGE I will be hold in English
Decades of work towards achieving sustainability show that mobility is essential and yet unsustainable. With climate change, market forces, societal costs of car-dependency, mobility in cities faces an epic crossroad. However, no single policy, city, organization or company can plot the recipe to achieve success. In the face of uncertainty, progress can be difficult: it’s unclear how any future can come to fruition. This talk is about the craft of change and the tremendous window of opportunity that lies before us. How can our cities realize a reality that does not yet exist?
Dr Meredith Glaser is Managing Director of the Urban Cycling Institute, an Amsterdam-based non-governmental organisation dedicated to research, higher education and capacity building. She is also Professor of Cycling at Ghent University. She is a leading expert in the field and one of the most sought-after teachers for learning about urban cycling systems, governance and knowledge transfer. She holds a PhD in Urban Planning from the University of Amsterdam.
Enhancing Cycling in Urban and Rural Areas: How Can We Get More Bikes for More People onto our Streets?
23.05.2024 I 14.15 - 15.15 Uhr I openSTAGE
The panel will focus on the measures that need to be taken at different levels to increase cycling usage. What political decisions need to be made and what do cities and municipalities need for promoting cycling? How can cycling initiatives not only encourage more people to cycle but also appeal to a wider range of demographics? However, where are the limits for cycling as well?
