Smart urban mobility takes centre stage at ITS European Congress in Seville

The 16th ITS European Congress, held in Seville from 19 to 21 May 2025, marked a milestone for smart and sustainable mobility across Europe. The event welcomed over 3,000 participants from 71 countries, including policymakers, industry leaders and researchers, all focused on advancing the theme “Clean, resilient, and connected mobility.” Organized by ERTICO – ITS Europe, in partnership with the European Commission and hosted by the City of Seville, the Congress showcased Europe's commitment to intelligent transport through collaborative innovation and policy alignment.
Across more than 150 sessions and workshops, discussions centred on the future of mobility, covering topics such as cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM), the role of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data sharing and inclusivity. High-level plenary sessions addressed the urgent need for sustainable transport, robust infrastructure and a competitive, resilient mobility value chain. There was a strong emphasis on integrating emerging technologies with public trust and real-world deployment.
A highlight of the event was the Smart Mobility Summit of Cities and Regions, which brought together over 50 high-level representatives, including participation from 16 Mission Cities. The summit addressed key strategies for achieving inclusive and climate-neutral urban mobility, with city leaders calling for stronger cooperation between governments, industry and the EU to turn sustainable mobility goals into tangible action.
Seville’s own efforts in ITS development were prominently featured, positioning the city as a model for other urban centres. The Congress concluded with reflections on Europe’s progress in ITS and a renewed sense of purpose to deliver transport that is accessible, safe, affordable and environmentally responsible.
