Accelerating the Transition to Scalable L4 Automated Shared Mobility
As autonomous public transportation transitions from small-scale pilot testing to commercially viable, large-scale Level 4 (L4) operational integration, exchanging real-world operational insights and policy tools is more critical than ever.
On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, the ULTIMO Horizon Europe Consortium will host the ULTIMO External Stakeholder Collaboration Day in Geneva, Switzerland. Organized alongside the prestigious EUCAD Symposium 2026, this interactive event brings together Public Transport Operators (PTOs), Public Transport Authorities (PTAs), municipal decision-makers, technology suppliers, and European CCAM sister projects to co-shape the future of automated mobility.
