The advances in technology and peoples changing perceptions, mean travel around the UK could dramatically change. This will affect how we move people, services and goods, creating a new ecosystem of mobility. The shift will affect far more than automakers—industries from insurance to health care and from energy and media, should reconsider how they create value in this emerging environment.
There is already significant activity happening in the UK in this area and the UK's Industrial Strategy outlines Future Mobility as one of four key themes, aiming to place the UK as a world leader in this space.
This session will explore some of the themes around future mobility. Speakers from industry and academia will share some of the latest developments and encourage engagement on how we go forward.
