On 16-17 September 2025, the second edition of the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit takes place in Stockholm, Sweden, bringing together decisionmakers, solution providers and thought leaders from across the Nordic and Baltic region to discuss the future of public transport and shared mobility in cities.
Nordic and Baltic cities are at the forefront of public transport and urban mobility innovation – from integrating autonomous vehicles into public transport and developing user-centric ticketing and journey-planning solutions, to rolling out shared-mobility fleets and successfully encouraging active mobility – which not only enhances local mobility and quality of life but also sets an example to other cities.
By connecting city officials, public transport authorities, mobility companies, researchers, experts and entrepreneurs from across Northern Europe, this high-level summit will be an exclusive forum to hear from leading experts and innovators, engage in interactive workshops and site visits, and spark new project ideas and collaborations with peers from across the region.
Join the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit 2025 in Stockholm to explore, discuss and shape the future of public transport and shared mobility in cities.
The event is co-hosted by EIT Urban Mobility, Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), with the support of the Swedish Public Transport Association.
