From 15–17 September 2026, Europe’s urban mobility community will gather in Thessaloniki, Greece, for the CIVITAS Forum 2026 – the flagship event of the CIVITAS Initiative. Under the theme Roots & Routes: Moving Forward to Competitive, Connected and Resilient Urban Mobility, the conference will bring together city leaders, policymakers, researchers, industry experts and practitioners to exchange ideas, showcase innovative solutions and shape the future of sustainable urban mobility.
From shaping strategic discussions to showcasing cutting-edge mobility solutions, EIT Urban Mobility is proud to play a key role in this year’s CIVITAS Forum.
Join us across the programme as we coordinate and contribute to four sessions tackling some of the most pressing challenges in sustainable urban mobility:
Session 1: Transforming Public Transport Systems: Innovation, Markets & Partnerships
Plenary 1: Competitive Urban Mobility – Scaling Innovation, Industry and Investment Pipelines
Session 4: Fostering Urban Mobility Innovation – Start-ups and SMEs (featuring Yann Simon, Head of City Partnerships at EIT Urban Mobility, as a speaker).
Session 11: Urban Mobility Innovation Beyond the EU: Practical Lessons from Candidate and Partner Countries.
Be sure to visit the CIVITAS Matchmaking Agora, organised by EIT Urban Mobility, where a carefully selected group of CIVITAS-funded mobility innovators will pitch their solutions and connect with cities and other stakeholders to explore opportunities for deployment, replication and market uptake.
Whether you’re looking for inspiring discussions, innovative solutions or new partnerships, we look forward to meeting you in Thessaloniki!
