Did you know that by 2025 there will be more than 470 million vehicles with internet access in the whole world? And that private owned vehicles are not running around 80 to 90% of the time? It is estimated that in some cities in the world, almost one third of traffic relates to people trying to find a parking space?

This is some of the data that will be on the table for debate in the first edition of the MOB Lab Congress, to be held in Porto, at the Foundation Dr. António Cupertino de Miranda, on 4 July. This event is jointly organised by Porto City Hall and IFE by Abilways.

The key topics under discussion are Mobility on demand, Electric Mobility, transport and Autonomous Vehicles, Connectivity and Security, Fiscal and legal Mobility Environment, and the New Digital Economy.
