Under the theme “From New to Now: Steering Mobility Innovations Toward Realities”, this event will be co-hosted by the International Transport Forum, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.
The 2026 Global Mobility Conference will convene leaders and experts from the mobility sector, innovation specialists, and policymakers to discuss what innovation works, where it works, and what must happen to turn promising innovation into solutions people use every day.
IRU President Radu Dinescu will participate in the High-level Panel discussion "Inspiration - Beyond Technology: Leadership for the Next Mobility Landscape"
Mobility Innovation, driven by advanced technologies such as AI and robotics, is transforming everyday life and moving beyond pilot projects into real-world deployment. However, experience has shown that technology alone cannot guarantee meaningful outcomes and may also introduce new risks, uncertainties and societal challenges.
Successfully integrating mobility innovation into society requires more than technological progress. Safety, public trust, financial sustainability, and shared societal values are all essential to the successful adoption and long-term development of resilient and innovative mobility services. As emerging technologies continue to evolve at pace, it is increasingly important to better understand the broader implications of mobility innovation and identify better policies for a better society.
This session will showcase good examples of policies, regulatory approaches, strategic investments, and partnerships that are shaping the future of mobility. Through practical case studies and forward-looking discussion, participants will explore how innovation can be translated into safer, more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable mobility systems,
