What does MCube do?
As Germany's future cluster for mobility, we take responsibility and deliver solutions in Munich:
MCube brings together partners from science, business, the public sector and civil society - a collaboration that makes real change possible:
From pilot projects to scalable impact
After a successful first phase - with projects such as the MCube Wiesn Shuttle, MCube aqt for the transformation of existing neighborhoods or the world's first Full cost calculator for urban mobility planning (MCube SASIM) - is now entering the next round.
In phase 2, we are working with over 80 partners and nine new projects for even more impact. This involves, among other things:
The future of mobility does not begin tomorrow. It starts now - in Munich. With courage, ideas and cooperation. Be part of it and help shape it!
A new study by MCube Consulting on behalf of Zukunft Nahverkehr (ZNV) shows: Local public transport generates three times as much revenue for the German economy as it costs.
Mobility is at the heart of Germany's economic and innovative strength, the key to climate neutrality and the core of everyday life.
Major award for a strong team: MCube Consulting receives the Innovation Award of the City of Munich - for a solution that reduces administrative workload, improves security and shows how research enables real change.
If Munich bids for the Olympics again, it will not do so arbitrarily - but with vision, attitude and a clear plan.
MCube had its own stand at the trade fair and brought together over 100 mobility pioneers at the "Bridging City Innovation Ecosystems" event above the rooftops of Barcelona.
What does the bus of tomorrow need to look like to convince as many people as possible to change buses voluntarily?
Our experts gave keynote speeches on why we need fair, inclusive mobility that is suitable for everyday use for everyone.
The city council of Landsberg am Lech has unanimously approved the new traffic development plan (VEP).
Innovation pioneers meet in Jülich to share transfer strategies, forge alliances and shape the future.
Why we should learn to celebrate construction sites - and finally shape mobility based on facts and together.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
