MCube @ Citizens Lab Marienplatz IAA Mobility 2023
We cordially invite you to join us on an exciting journey into the world of mobility innovations. From September 5 to 10, 2023, Munich will become the global center for groundbreaking ideas and developments in the field of mobility - and MCube will be right in the middle of it all. Our stand in the IAA // Citizens Lab on Marienplatz will be the meeting point for six days of inspiration and exchange about the "future of mobility".
Experience first-hand innovative concepts and tangible objects that bring the future of mobility to life. Immerse yourself in our latest projects on autonomous driving and car sharing, and use state-of-the-art VR technology to explore the vision of combined delivery and passenger transportation. Find out more about pioneering legal foundations for future-oriented mobility planning and a comprehensive full-cost calculation for all forms of mobility in our cities.
Together with you, we would like to discuss how public transport can be redesigned and how we can ensure fair mobility in Germany. Your opinion is needed - take an active part in the MCube Citizens' Forum and help us to identify the individual mobility needs of your region.
You can look forward to a week full of exciting presentations and discussions on our large stage and in the MCube Cluster workshop tent. A special highlight awaits you on Saturday: the (anticipated) award ceremony for the Guinness World Record attempt for the "world's most economical electric car".
