Focus on an innovative and dynamic sector

In the wake of an unprecedented health crisis, EuMo Expo offers an opportunity to strengthen commercial relations, begin new partnerships, meet elected officials from one’s locality and elsewhere, and discover new solutions

Over 170 exhibitors from France and abroad will be taking part, including manufacturers, operators, energy suppliers, engineering firms, companies working in passenger information systems and ticketing, startups, and active mobility stakeholders. They’ll be presenting new products and services to a range of visitors: local authority politicians and officers, operators, entrepreneurs, journalists, and others. As GIE Objectif transport public chairman Marc Delayer explains, “In the wake of an unprecedented health crisis, EuMo Expo offers an opportunity to strengthen commercial relations, begin new partnerships, meet elected officials from one’s locality and elsewhere, and discover new solutions.”

Talks at the heart of the exhibition

“The environment, energy, and multi-modal solutions: transition or revolution? Sustainable mobility as a way forward for the future” is the umbrella theme chosen by France’s Transportation Authorities Group GART and UTP for the programme of talks, open to all, to be held at the heart of the exhibition.

Experts from France and across Europe will be getting together to discuss concerns of mobility authorities and operators such as energy transition, Mobility as a Service, mobility for young people and seniors, and deregulation. Exhibitors will also have 30-minute slots to present their innovations and promising outcomes of trial projects.
