Ministry of Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

"The future of mobility is digital, connected and, increasingly, driverless. Here in North Rhine-Westphalia we have created an impressive network of scientists, researchers, start-up companies, politicians and public administrators to swiftly capitalise on the opportunities digitalisation offers for better, safer and cleaner mobility. polisMOBILITY is therefore a perfect fit for Cologne. The mobility of the future will be researched, developed and become a tangible reality in North Rhine-Westphalia as quickly as possible. That’s because connected mobility solutions are needed to improve the experience of living in and visiting our cities and our rural and suburban areas.”

Ina Brandes, Minister of Transport for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

Alliance for Mobility of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

"Mobility of people and goods is constantly changing and is in increasing demand. Digitization opens up new mobility options for society and the economy, but also opportunities for quality improvements, effective and efficient processes, and reduced environmental and climate impact. Mobility is equally a prerequisite for social participation and for economic success, growth, prosperity and employment. Mobility must be thought of from the user's perspective."
