Traditionally held in Paris, next month\u2019s EuMo Expo<\/em> show will take place in a new venue<\/h5>\n

\nIn a change from its traditional venue, the eleventh edition of European Mobility Expo<\/a><\/em> (EuMo Expo) will be held in Strasbourg from October 1-3 2024. 11,000 visitors are expected to attend this go-to European event for professionals working in sustainable mobility and public transport.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Transportation Authorities Group (GART) and its Public and Rail Transport Union (UTP), the international union of public transport
\n(UITP) and show organisers GIE Objectif transport public decided to hold the 2024 edition in Strasbourg to sidestep any potential issues with hosting major events in the Paris region in the wake of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n

Marc Delayer, chairman of GIE Objectif transport public, explained: \u201cWe looked for an attractive alternative venue, at the heart of Europe and highly committed to an ambitious mobility policy. As one of the EU capitals and the seat of autumn sessions of the European Parliament, Strasbourg was the obvious choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nEurom\u00e9tropole Strasbourg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eurom\u00e9tropole Strasbourg is ideally placed to host the major event. \u201cWe\u2019re honoured and delighted to be welcoming this European event bringing together localities that are firmly committed to mobility \u2013 all the more so in that Eurom\u00e9tropole is itself committed to development, adaptation and innovation on a daily basis for mass transit and changing mobility practices,\u201d said Pa Imbs, president of Eurom\u00e9tropole Strasbourg.\u201cOur European Metropolitan Express Network serves our entire territory, backed by a tram network that is in the process of being thoroughly redeveloped.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strasbourg boasts one of the best-performing networks in France \u2013 a source of inspiration for professionals in a number of countries across Europe. It has the densest tram network in France (which is also a cross-border network, reaching into Germany), as well as having one of the country\u2019s largest city-wide cycle networks and a pedestrian master plan that promotes shared public space and seamless modal interaction.<\/p>\n

Served by the TGV-Est and Rhine-Rh\u00f4ne high-speed lines, Strasbourg is also a European rail interchange and the first city in France outside the Paris region to be developing a city- wide express rail network. Eurom\u00e9tropole Strasbourg will be able to show off all these assets to professionals attending the event.
\nAccessible by tram, the new Exhibition Centre designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma is an ideal venue to host the 2024 edition of EuMo Expo. <\/p>\n

\nExhibition and talks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three-day event will bring together almost 11,000 participants: politicians and policy-makers from local authorities, operators, business leaders and others from across Europe to find out all about the latest innovations and news, with discussions and networking taking place in a relaxed but business-like atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Manufacturers, startups, operators and businesses working in energy, engineering, passenger information systems, ticketing, and active mobility will all be represented among the 250 or so French and international exhibitors expected at this flagship event. Those present include Daimler\u2013Mercedes-Benz, Ebusco, Keolis, Otokar, RATP Dev, Solaris, SNCF, Transdev and others. Over 30 new exhibitors are joining EuMo Expo this year.<\/p>\n

Experts from France and across Europe will meanwhile be getting together to discuss the concerns of mobility authorities and operators and visitors will also be
\nable to attend some 15 talks (admission free). Two Agora venues also offer exhibitors an opportunity to present their innovations. French-English translation is available for all talks and presentations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nGuest city of honour: Vienna<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austrian capital Vienna and its transport network Wiener Linien will be the guests of honour at EuMo Expo 2024.<\/p>\n

Vienna prides itself as being a pioneer in sustainable mobility. Major renovation of public transport over the past few decades, encouraging walking and cycling and investments in innovative solutions have been combined to create a Viennese mobility system that\u2019s geared to the future and increases modal share. Over the coming years, the City of Vienna is seeking to go further still, aiming to become carbon-neutral by 2040.<\/p>\n

Visitors can interact with representatives of Wiener Linien on stand 42 in Hall 2. <\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nEvents within the event!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several awards ceremonies will be taking place during the three-day event to honour individuals in the industry. They are also an opportunity for visitors to expand their networks in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Reserved for exhibitors, the Public Transport Innovation Awards<\/strong> honour technology innovations and new services developed by exhibitors across four categories: Energy and the Environment, Operating and Ticketing Systems, ITS, Passenger Information and Services, and Accessibility, Fittings, Facilities and Design. The winners will be announced on October 1 at 5.15pm at the Talks venue in Hall 1. <\/p>\n

The Smart Move Challenge<\/strong> rewards startups with promising and especially innovative ideas that are looking for their first market.<\/p>\n

The contest serves as a springboard for winning startups, giving them extensive opportunities for contacts with innovation directors from leading companies in the sector and visibility throughout the mobility ecosystem. Startups can enter in three categories: Resources and Services for Users, Resources and Services for Local Authorities, and Resources and Services for Operations.<\/p>\n

Startups will be making their pitches at EuMo Expo on October 3 from 9.30am onwards at the Agora 2 venue (Hall 3); the Smart Move Challenge 2024 closing ceremony will take place at 12 noon in the Talks venue (Hall 1). <\/p>\n

The European Talent in Mobility Awards<\/strong> honour and recognise women and men working to improve public transport throughout Europe. <\/p>\n

The jury is made up of journalists from the European trade press, including Robert Jack of Passenger Transport, and will convene to decide on the winners in four categories: Best Young Talent, Best Project Manager, Best Manager, and the Special Career Service award. Meanwhile on the exhibition website, anyone can vote for their favourite candidate for the 2024 Web Users\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

The contest is a great opportunity to recognise the skills, achievements and commitment to sustainable development of individuals within the sector. The awards ceremony will be held in the Talks venue in Hall 1 at 3.30pm on October 2.<\/p>\n
