MCube:

• What fascinates you about the innovation landscape of mobility in the region?
  • The ecosystem is unique in Germany, with close links between cutting-edge research, the metropolitan region, established large companies, agile start-ups and the digital sector, all working together to drive forward sustainable and intelligent mobility solutions.
• What key challenge do you see for the future of mobility?
  • The central challenge for the future of mobility lies in the environmentally friendly and intelligent integration of new technologies, infrastructure and forms of transportation in order to ensure both efficiency and social acceptance.
• What perspective or expertise do you bring to the MCube Supervisory Board?
  • As a mobility officer, I am responsible for small and large, traditional and innovative transportation projects in the city. I receive direct feedback from the population and stakeholders on their everyday mobility needs. I therefore contribute both the "reality check" perspective and the strategic municipal perspective.
• For me, MCube means...
  • Interdisciplinary cooperation and the courage to shape the mobility of the future in a sustainable, innovative and practical way.
