The Mobility Revolution is Here. Now What?
A revolution in the way we move about our cities is already upon us. Electrification, self-driving cars, and shared business models make up the “Three Zeroes” of Mobility: Zero Emissions, Zero Accidents, and Zero Ownership. The speed of the transformation is like nothing we’ve seen before, and it encompasses more than “just” the automotive industry. Finance, transportation, energy, urban design and real estate are just some of the other industries impacted.
Whether your company moves people, goods, bricks, bytes, or money, it’s time to consider the strategic impact of this transformation. CEOs, corporate development professionals and fellow consultants are welcome to join this discussion on the wider impact of the mobility revolution on their own businesses.
As an author and keynote speaker with a unique focus on this topic, Lukas is uniquely positioned to challenge your status quo. His presentation will be packed with up-to-the-minute research on autonomous and shared mobility; he will also share the state-of-the art from the startup companies he advises.
