Future Mobility - new ideas for future transportation and infrastructure
Mobility plays a vital role in the development of any modern society. An effective and reliable transport sector has always been a prerequisite for economic growth. The successful deployment of different transport modes in a sustainable and effective way is probably one of the most important success parameters for future mobility.

In order to utilise the current momentum in the BSR there is a need to focus on developing a coherent and efficient transport infrastructure, which is necessary for attracting foreign investment as well as tourism. The aim is to increase trade and commerce within the region whilst at the same time fulfilling the needs for fewer emissions and incorporating new energy systems. Accessibility for all people – including people with limited mobility - is another important focus for regional authorities. Thus new technology, sustainable transport models, changing infrastructure and transportation systems all make an attractive challenge for today’s designers and engineers.

Objectives
• to develop new ideas for the mobility of people as well as the transportation of goods.
• to increase opportunities for the use of design as a tool in the development of private as well as public transportation systems.
• to get involved in developing future mobility.
• to promote the Baltic Sea Region as an innovative region.

Target groups:
• International experts from different fields such as:
• Transport and logistics, construction, car-, aeroplane-, train- and shipping-industry
• Regional planners, public authorities
• Technical Universities and other relevant sciences
• Architects, engineers, designers and students
• Media and the public
