MCube:

What fascinates you about the Munich Innovation Powerhouse?

• What fascinates me about the Innovationpowerhouse Munich is how forward-looking solutions for sustainable mobility are promoted and developed through excellent cooperation and the creative will of the various partners.

What key challenge do you see for the future of mobility in general?

• One of the greatest challenges for the future of mobility lies in managing very different necessary aspects at the same time: maintaining and expanding important public transport infrastructures must be driven forward just as urgently as implementing innovative measures/projects. This is the only way we can cope with the increasing mobility needs of a growing metropolitan region. At the same time, ecological, social and economic challenges must be addressed. This is because the financial resources required for implementation are often lacking.

What perspective or expertise do you bring to MCube, which project are you leading or which topic do you exemplify?

• As project manager on the SWM/MVG side for the ASUR and MobiPionier projects, I bring in sound expertise in the planning, coordination and implementation of innovative mobility projects.
• The ASUR project is developing the basis for a scalable implementation of autonomous vehicle systems in urban and rural areas.
• In the MobiPionier project, we are investigating the potential impact of innovative mobility-as-a-service offerings such as mobility budgets and mobility bundles in real-world laboratories for everyday mobility and major events.

"For me, MCube means..."

• To be part of an interdisciplinary network that sets the course for sustainable mobility and develops innovative solutions for the challenges of our time.
