PARIS…The Oliver Wyman Forum, in collaboration with UC Berkeley, is pleased to announce the inaugural session of the Global Mobility Executive Forum on November 26 and 27 at Station F, gathering global mobility leaders, startups, key public decision-makers and academic representatives to discuss “Building tomorrow’s mobility with data alliances.”
The President of France, Mr. Emmanuel Macron, attentive to the complex issues around the mobility revolution, has placed this important event under his high patronage.
This inaugural session will take place in the presence of Ms. Valérie Pécresse (Ile de France Region Chair), Mr. Jean-Eric Paquet (European Commission Director), Mr. Jeremy Yap (Deputy Chief Executive, Land Transport Authority of Singapore) and Mr. Eric Labaye (Ecole Polytechnique Chair).
Attending this event will be 50 executives of leading corporations, such as Bird, BlaBlaCar, BMW, BNP Paribas, Bouygues, Europcar Mobility Group, Orange, RATP, Siemens Mobility, SNCF, Transdev, Thales, and Volocopter (see complete partner list below). Eight plenary sessions and 20 breakout workshops will focus on the most critical issues. The goal of the forum is to encourage cross-player collaboration and build global mobility ecosystems. Following the event, an executive summary will be published.
Guillaume Thibault, Transport & Services Partner at Oliver Wyman Paris and Executive Director of Global Mobility Executive Forum Paris, says “The commitment of the event partners testifies to the importance of the game-changing shifts in the flow of people and goods engendered by the digital revolution, and the desire to meet these challenges by creating alliances to develop the mobility of tomorrow.”
A new global ranking of the cities best prepared to adapt to the mobility of the future developed in collaboration with UC Berkeley, will be unveiled during the forum.
“The city is the right arena to invent the mobility of the future as we move toward 2030 and witness the gradual emergence of competing geographical ecosystems;” indicates Professor Alexandre Bayen of the Institute of Transportation Studies of UC Berkeley.
The index is based on pioneering research covering several dozen indicators to encompass every form of mobility and aims to set a new standard of excellence in comparing global cities faced with tomorrow’s challenges.
The forum will also be an opportunity to honor 50 startups working on the mobility of tomorrow, with displays, presentations and workshops, as well as celebrate the two-year anniversary of Moove Lab, Station F’s benchmark startup acceleration program for the mobility sector.
In addition to the first Global Mobility Executive Forum held in Paris, the Oliver Wyman Forum will feature seven sessions across the globe, upcoming next in San Francisco, Dubai and London in 2020. A white paper will be available following the culmination of these events.
The event plenary sessions will be open to the press by advance reservation only (space limited) at gmefparis@oliverwyman.com by November 5, 2019.
