MCube creates solutions for the mobility of tomorrow - not on paper, but in real urban spaces. Our projects develop, test and scale innovations that make metropolitan regions more sustainable, efficient and liveable. We work on two closely interlinked levels:
Innovation projects: New solutions are being developed here.
Our innovation projects develop concrete technological and social innovations - from autonomous systems and sustainable logistics to the transformation of public spaces.
In transdisciplinary consortia from science, business, administration and civil society, these solutions are tested in the real laboratory, scientifically evaluated and prepared for broad application.
Integration projects: This creates a system effect.
Our integration projects work across all innovation projects. They develop the processes and formats that evaluate innovations, develop them further and make them scalable.
From impact evaluation, transferability and policy impulses to start-up support and citizen participation, they ensure that projects become sustainable transformation.
This turns individual projects into an effective innovation ecosystem that serves as a model for other regions.
Current projects (MCube Phase II 2024 - 2027)
6 Innovation projects for the
Mobility of tomorrow
The project investigates how various car-sharing models at residential locations can offer an attractive alternative to the little-used private car.
The project aims to influence mobility behavior on the TUM research campus in Garching through digital and physical interventions.
We are creating a digital basis for comprehensively mapping mobility in the metropolitan region and testing the effectiveness and safety of future measures before they are introduced.
We are developing and testing an autonomous vehicle for use in urban and rural real-world laboratories.
We are investigating the potential impact of innovative Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) offerings such as mobility budgets and mobility bundles in real-world laboratories for everyday mobility and major events.
With MOSAIQ, we are committed to environmentally friendly mobility, participation, social inclusion, a high quality of life and climate-resilient urban districts in Munich.
In our project "Effective participation for mobility innovation", we are integrating the topics of participation and communication across the cluster.
Our project deals with evaluation, process evaluation, upscaling, replication and application of the project processes and project results.
We create knowledge and practical skills to support cities and municipalities in implementing responsible governance models and innovative mobility experiments.
Past projects (Phase I 2021 - 2024)
11 completed innovation projects for the mobility of tomorrow
We have tested in Munich neighborhoods how car-reduced spaces can contribute to a more liveable city through participation, research and real-world laboratories.
The aim was to develop a holistic, cooperative optimization approach that particularly addresses delays caused by unpredictable traffic phenomena.
We have developed and tested an innovative evaluation method that can be used to assess the impact of transport infrastructure projects.
As part of the project, we worked collaboratively and transdisciplinarily with actors from the field in order to gain concrete knowledge for a just mobility transition.
STEAM aims to analyze and design future vehicle usage concepts for passenger and freight transport in a holistic and user-centered manner.
With the help of experiments and real-world laboratories, we have developed sustainable mobility solutions and driven forward the mobility transition in urban areas.
We have tested an innovative car-sharing model with electric vehicles in a real-world laboratory. The special feature: Only a closed circle of neighbors shared the cars.
The aim of the project was to set up and permanently operate a test field for automated and connected driving (separate and not subject to road traffic regulations).
With the Wiesn Shuttle project, we have proven that autonomous driving is already possible in complex, urban environments.
The project has developed a concept for the human-centered and responsible design of mobility innovations.
DatSim ensured the synergistic bundling of mobility data in the cluster, supported the evaluation of measures and enabled the simulation of relevant scenarios.
The project evaluated the internal processes and the impact of the cluster and used the knowledge gained to further develop the mobility system in a targeted manner.

ما هي أهداف المشروع؟
في MCube MOSAIQ، نلتزم بالعمل مع المواطنين وأصحاب المصلحة المحليين الآخرين لتحويل الأحياء إلى أماكن تُواجه تحديات تغير المناخ والتنقل الحضري في ظل ندرة المساحات العامة.
يركز المشروع على ما يلي:
تحسين التنقل للجميع: سفر أسهل وأكثر أمانًا - على سبيل المثال، سيرًا على الأقدام، أو بالدراجة، أو من خلال خيارات التنقل المشتركة التي تُسهّل الحياة اليومية.
تحسين جودة الحياة: أماكن أكثر تُشجع الناس على الاسترخاء والشعور بالراحة - لتحسين جودة الحياة في الحي.
التكيف مع تغيرات المناخ الحضري: المزيد من المساحات الخضراء - لأيام صيف أكثر برودة، وهواء أنظف، وحماية من آثار الأمطارغزيرة.
توزيع مساحات الشوارع بشكل مستقبلي: مساحة أكبر للجميع - للمشي، والاسترخاء، أو لأماكن التجمع الخضراء في الحي.
تعزيز المجتمع: أماكن لقاء جديدة وفرص لللتعرف على الحي بشكل أفضل والمساهمة في تشكيله.
ما الذي يحدث في الحي؟
سيتم تنفيذ المشروع على عدة مراحل:
٢٠٢٥: بدء العمل بنماذج المشاركة والبحث.
٢٠٢٦: تطبيق تجريبي محدود المدة للأفكار الفردية المشتركة في المساحات العامة.
٢٠٢٧: تقييم العملية حتى الآن والتوقعات.

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?
