Connectivity Meets Autonomy

Time: 10:00 – 10:30 CET

Autonomous vehicles and aircraft are transforming mobility through real-time decision-making in dynamic environments. Powered by advanced connectivity like 5G and cloud-native platforms, these systems enable secure, low-latency data exchange between sensors, edge devices, and control systems—creating a resilient foundation for autonomy. This session explores how the convergence of connectivity and intelligence is driving adaptive ecosystems, improving customer experiences, and setting new benchmarks for agility and performance in an unpredictable world.

Built for Tomorrow: Infrastructure for Intelligent Mobility

Time: 10:30 – 11:30 CET

As modern mobility evolves, its backbone lies in intelligent, connected infrastructure. This session will explore how 5G, cloud-native platforms, and real-time connectivity enable autonomous vehicles and aircraft to make instant, informed decisions. We will examine advanced use cases such as public and private networks, leveraging the capabilities of standalone and 5G Advanced such as non-terrestrial networks, that are driving the mobility revolution. The discussion will highlight the next generation of smart infrastructure, including adaptive traffic systems, or teleoperation. This ranges from connected ports and intelligent railways to logistics hubs and digital aviation corridors, revealing how seamless connectivity is transforming the movement of people and goods worldwide.

AI Takes Flight: Transforming Mobility Right Now

Time: 12:00 – 13:00 CET

Going beyond connectivity, the focus is now on creating data-driven services. By leveraging mobile network data through API and consumed by AI, innovative and more efficient services are emerging. This year marks a tipping point for AI adoption in smart mobility. No longer experimental, AI is now central to powering real-world applications. Building on last year’s breakthroughs in AI-enabled fleet management for public and commercial transport, we will explore how intelligent systems are redefining mobility at scale. We will also examine how connected platforms are transforming public and private mobility through shared data, real-time responsiveness, and interoperability. From autonomous shipping lanes optimising maritime logistics, to drone delivery corridors revolutionising air transport, and multimodal transit networks connecting smart cities, AI is driving unprecedented efficiency, safety, and sustainability. This session will showcase cross-sector use cases that highlight how mature AI capabilities are unlocking the full potential of autonomous and connected mobility ecosystems.

Connected Future: The Engine of Smart Mobility

Time: 14:30 – 15:45 CET

In this session, we’ll highlight real-world examples, from integrated ecosystem and route planning to cross-modal logistics and shared fleets, illustrating how innovative business models, monetisation strategies, and partnerships are driving progress in the mobility sector. These developments are unlocking new revenue streams and enabling services that enhance efficiency and user experience. By integrating data, platforms, and stakeholders, we are paving the way for a fully connected mobility future, where seamless travel, intelligent infrastructure, and interoperable systems become the norm and bringing the vision of the smart city to life.
