If you want to learn about the future of mobility, you can't miss this webinar with two industry leaders. More details below!

🇪🇺 #Europe is gearing up to lead the charge in shaping the innovations in transportation! 🚅 Last Thursday, Nevomo with 17 influential mobility startups unite under the banner of the #EUFutureMobility Task Force, presented a call for action for Europe's transport innovation during the #ConnectingEurope Days. The purpose of this paper is to provide a concise overview for key decision makers across current and upcoming mandates within the European institutions, highlighting the critical barriers hindering the advancement of EU mobility leaders and impeding the attainment of Europe's forefront position in the future mobility market. “Europe has the potential to become a global leader in mobility innovation, we owe this to our citizens and to our economy’s competitiveness." - said Adina Valean, EU Commissioner for #Transport, during the ceremony. 📣 Mapping out the path forward, this joint effort aims to propel Europe into the global forefront of mobility innovation. From revolutionizing regulations to fostering financial support and engaging citizens, we're committed to driving positive change for all. Elevating mobility transcends mere transportation—it's about igniting profound change in lives and economies. We're delighted to witness increasing support from EU policymakers for innovative solutions like our #MagRail. With our technology, let's forge a path towards a more interconnected, sustainable, and inclusive Europe! 🌍 Nevomo AURA-AERO Bolt Cabify CARTO Dott DRONAMICS EVBox EVConnect S.E Ltd Fastned Flix Lilium MaaS Global Ltd OTIV Volocopter Virta Ltd Voi Technology #Nevomo #EUFutureMobility #ConnectingEurope #FutureOfTransport #EUInnovation #MobilityLeadership

Nowadays, many companies claim to be tech companies, but are they truly, or are they simply using new technologies within their traditional business models? The distinction seems subtle, it's actually a difference between two entirely different worlds. Many people are surprised to learn that Flix is a tech company, not just a typical bus company. In fact, our entire business is built on technology developed in-house by our teams. By prioritizing technology from the start, before buses and trains, we’ve been able to structure our entire organization and business model in a much leaner and more flexible way. This "internal kitchen" has a significant impact on the quality of the product we offer our customers in many areas, including: ✅ Network and schedule optimization ✅ More affordable prices ✅ A user-friendly booking system ✅ A bus-tracking feature ("Find My Bus") ✅ Advanced safety systems And many more innovations working in the background. You can find a link to our discussion with WNP and Adrian Ołdak covering this topic in detail in the comments below. When speaking with bus operators and industry players, it’s clear that adding these systems on top of a traditional, old-school business model would not only be costly and time-consuming but, in many cases, nearly impossible. The entire process would need to be reimagined. During our startup phase, we made the leap to this new tech-driven dimension early on. This work is far from over. It will continue alongside our business development. We have new tools, especially AI-based, to integrate into our processes. Thanks to the foundation laid by our tech teams over the past years, we're confident we can continue delivering even more sustainable value to our customers in the near future! #TechTravel #Mobility

So incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute towards building Government Tomorrow Forum the past few months. Aside from a great team under Igor Lys leadership, this has also been a time of unparalleled learning and broadening of perspective on a range of topics - in this case, mobility. I cannot agree more with the point mentioned by Mr.Rõivas on the challenge posed by excessive ownership of personal vehicles. This is something I deeply resonate with coming from India, where the ability to buy a personal vehicle is oftentimes an indication of wealth and signals social mobility whilst the reality is that the infrastructure simply cannot cope with the number of vehicles on the road, not to mention the obvious air pollution related negative outcomes. The future of mobility must be one that encourages uptake of public transport systems and less ownership of personal vehicles, undoubtedly this will need work on both the policy and innovation front, something I see both Government Tomorrow Forum & Auve Tech being deeply involved in.

Last week it finally happened – meeting with LYYLI in Tampere. What a lady! Lyyli is a unique test tram in the whole world! Our Los Angeles delegation had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience an autonomous test drive with Lyyli. Lyyli tram is part of the “Lyyli Living Lab” environment, which enables the testing, experimentation and development of various solutions related to urban mobility in a real operating environment. During our Lyyli visit, Ali Huttunen from Tampereen Raitiotie Oy/ Tampere Tramway Ltd. informed us that the main goal of Lyyli Living Lab project is to enable new services offered to passengers and innovations and technological experiments that improve the travel experience in a test train operating in normal traffic. Business Finland is actively participating and funding this Lyyli project - SmartRail#3. The project is also part of Business Finland's Decarbonized Cities program. The consortium includes companies and stakeholders like Škoda Group, GIM Robotics, PayiQ, Moovy, Nodeon, Solita, Tietoevry, Tampereen kaupunki - City of Tampere, Liikenne- ja viestintävirasto Traficom / Transport- och kommunikationsverket Traficom, Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Business Tampere and VTT, which is acting as coordinator of the joint project. In total, more than 30 organizations are involved in this Lyyli Living Lab project. This project is an excellent example of the close cooperation within several actors. The results of this project will be used both to implement a user-friendly and safely automated urban mobility as well as to generate new business, business-led growth, exports and new jobs. Our Los Angeles business delegation was extremely interested in the Finnish state-of-the-art solutions within the urban mobility sector. Los Angeles is on a mission to electrify transportation by the 2028 Summer Olympics. For example, the second-largest metro region in the nation aims to become a clean transportation leader ahead of the 2028 Olympics. Relevant business opportunities will be analyzed within Finnish and Los Angeles companies – Stay tuned! Lyyli – lajinsa ensimmäinen. Lyyli – the first of its’ kind. #TeamFinland #BusinessFinland #Export #Innovation

Shifting mindsets about public transport starts early, very early. With the right infrastructure on board. ❤️ Finland’s approach to children, it gives a model how to #invest in the #nextgeneration
