Micromobility and the Green Deal: a Maturing Industry Fit to Tackle Local and Global Challenges?

EIT Urban Mobility and EIT InnoEnergy invite you to join the online event “Micromobility and the Green Deal: a Maturing Industry Fit to Tackle Local and Global Challenges?” on Thursday 27 May, 9.00 to 10.30.

While the European Commission is assessing the Member States’ Recovery and Resilience Plans – made to build forward better our economy – and ahead of the release of the “Fit-for-55” Package, this online event will be the occasion to discuss the challenges and opportunities for micromobility to be firmly anchored in a forward-looking and Green Deal-aligned urban mobility landscape.

The debate will in particular address the necessary conditions for this to happen, in terms of European policy, governance, and innovation.
