The Future Now – Rethinking Mobility

November 17 @ 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm

AI is disrupting the way we move, in the air and on the roads. In the US, disruptive technologies for mobility originate from the non-mobility industry and pioneering startups. The traditional industry is failing to keep up in innovative speed. In contrast, in Germany, the established industry leads the way in developing new forms of mobility, yet at a much slower pace. New ways of mobility are pioneered by both start-ups and the industry giants. This raises crucial questions: Why does innovation happen so differently across the atlantic? What drives faster and more sustainable change? And what do we need to achieve the future in mobility in both countries? Which policies foster innovative change? Can change at different speeds and ways of innovation coexist? Or is Germany inevitably lagging behind? What are some of the key learnings in terms of innovation and collaboration, with e.g. startups, regulators and investors, in Germany and the USA, and how can they be scaled to other domains?
