Why Should Infrastructure and Urban Planners Attend the IAA Summit?

The IAA Summit brings together top representatives from business, research, and politics, providing infrastructure and urban planners with a unique opportunity to build valuable connections. Through direct conversations, they can gain insights into political frameworks, technological innovations, and economic developments. These discussions can provide momentum for the development of sustainable mobility concepts and foster cross-industry collaborations that are essential for successful urban planning projects. 

The IAA Conference covers future topics such as smart city concepts, autonomous driving, public transportation solutions, and charging infrastructure. Infrastructure and urban planners will benefit from keynotes, best-practice presentations, and panel discussions showcasing practical solutions for urban development. The opportunity to engage in direct dialogue with experts after the presentations is particularly valuable, allowing planners to ask questions and discuss innovative mobility concepts for tomorrow's cities. 

At the IAA Summit’s exhibition area, a wide range of international companies will showcase their latest technologies – from connected transportation modes and sustainable vehicles like e-scooters and autonomous shuttles to digital mobility platforms. City planners will receive a comprehensive overview of innovative mobility solutions that can be integrated into future-oriented urban development concepts. Test areas and pilot demonstrations offer hands-on insights into the performance of new technologies. 

The IAA Summit provides a platform for sharing successful mobility projects from model cities. Infrastructure planners can learn from best practices that have already been successfully implemented in other cities. Case studies from showcase projects and panel discussions with experts offer valuable insights into success factors and challenges in implementing smart mobility concepts. These insights can help cities transfer proven concepts to their own projects and avoid potential obstacles early on. 

The IAA Summit offers not only theoretical input but also opportunities for visitors to experience new technologies and concepts firsthand. Through interactive formats, masterclasses, and live demonstrations, urban planners can assess the practicality of innovations and evaluate their potential for their own urban development. These hands-on experiences will help planners make well-informed decisions for future projects. 

The IAA Summit at IAA MOBILITY 2025 is a valuable opportunity for infrastructure and urban planners to stay informed about innovations in the mobility sector, identify trends, learn from successful model projects, and build valuable connections. The event provides practical insights to develop sustainable and forward-thinking urban development concepts and integrate them into planning practices. This is where the future cities will be shaped.
