Our panelists

  • Dr. Stefan Carsten, Futurologist and Urban Geographer, Germany
  • Marcus Arens, Director Sales & Business Development at Ayming Deutschland GmbH, Germany
  • Nadia Soultanova, Head of Urban Network & LP Support at Urban Impact Ventures, Netherlands

Two top-class panels with experts from science, industry and politics, as well as investors, innovators, utopians and entrepreneurs who will examine these topics from different angles.

Both panels will be moderated by people with experience and insight into their respective fields.   

Keywords in the topic of mobility are therefore autonomous driving technology, material sciences, hydrogene-fuel stations, storage, zero-emission vehicles.

The panel will address the future challenges of mobility in relation to people and goods. The significance of the requirements of mobility in these two crucial fields for sustainability and the circular economy will be examined from the perspective of industry, institutions, investors as well as actors in municipal and urban structures.

Another facet is current entrepreneurial concepts, that are now developing and offering sustainable solutions. What are the demands of buyers and producers? How do we handle individual needs and common sense? To organize transport and travel in the future, we must keep the sustainability goals in mind regarding materials, waste and the carbon footprint along the value chains.
