To kick off this new year, a delegation of ERTICO will participate in various events, exchanging knowledge, taking up the discussion points of last year and continue engaging in discussions of forthcoming trends and new opportunities ahead. 

On 21 January, our CEO Joost Vantomme will first join the ATEC ITS France Congress to meet and connect with colleagues from the region and discuss the next ITS European Congress taking place in the neighbouring country of Seville, Spain from 19-21 May.

The following day, ERTICO is invited by the International Transport Forum (ITF) of OECD, as a special invitee by Young Tae Kim, Secretary General of the ITF. We have been invited to organise dedicated training and knowledge-sharing sessions with the ITF community. Joost Vantomme will be joined by a delegation of the ERTICO team, Director of Strategy & Innovation, Vlad Vorotovic and Senior Managers, Ralf Willenbrock, and Vassilis Agouridas. The special lectures with the ITF team will be focused on cutting-edge innovation and technologies shaping the future transformation of transport, including Connected, Cooperative & Automated Mobility (CCAM), new urban transport solutions, innovative aerial services, ITS for logistics, data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This lecture, titled “Smart Mobility, Sustainable Solutions: Transforming Transport for a Digital Future”

will be a unique opportunity to discuss how technology, and its governance for responsible innovation, are driving the shift worldwide towards smarter and more sustainable mobility, as well as to learn from the perspective of a leading organisation driving innovation and collaboration on the topic.

ITF and ERTICO have a strong cooperation and we are pleased with having Mr Young Tae Kim, Secretary General of ITF, as a regular guest and speaker in the ITS congress cycle.

Stay tuned for more updates following these key engagements.
