The Mobility Times

The Mobility Times #7 reports on the latest conference held by The Mobility Sphere in Porto, Portugal, in March 2026. Experts gathered at the conference emphasized that a widening divide in access to mobility between major urban centres and the territories beyond them is endangering equality, opportunity and even democracy itself, making mobility a key factor in maintaining social cohesion.

The Mobility Times #6 looks back at the conference held by The Mobility Sphere in Paris on September 15, 2025, at La Maison de la Radio, on the topic of financing the ecological transition in Europe. Experts gathered at the conference emphasized that the mobility transition is not only a technology story but primarily a financing story one that can only succeed through shared responsibility, fair and inclusive funding models, and stronger leadership from the European Union.

The Mobility Times #5 reports on the latest conference held by The Mobility Sphere in Paris in September 2025, at La Maison de la Radio, dedicated to financing the green transition. Experts gathered at the conference emphasized that, with public budgets under pressure and the era of "cheap money" over, the private savings of European citizens  estimated at €35 trillion held in European banks  should become part of the solution to fund sustainable mobility and the wider transition.

The Mobility Times #4 reports on the latest conference held by The Mobility Sphere in Sweden in June during Almedalen Week, a key event in the country's political and civic calendar. Experts gathered at the conference emphasized that transportation, which accounts for 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, must be part of the transition.
