At the MCube Future Mobility Camp on April 4, 2023, over 200 existing and interested new Mcube cluster partners came together at the Munich Urban Colab - civil society, industry, science, start-ups and administration - to shape the next projects and consortia in a design sprint based on the ongoing innovation projects of the first BMBF funding phase on the future of mobility.
After the virtual kick-off of the camp by Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger in the auditorium, the experts spread out into different rooms in the building and generated over 20 potential new project ideas in a design sprint.
With the given questions What problem do WE want to solve? and What innovative ideas and approaches do we want to use to solve this problem? the teams have dealt with the selected project area and pre-structured it.
The complexity of the possible mobility innovations for the second funding period of the #Clusters4Future MCube phase quickly became clear! From electrified and autonomous public transport services, to a real innovation leap for active mobility, from the need to think mobility and energy transition together for real climate protection, to a comprehensive increase in the quality of stay and mobility in our regions, thoughts and impulses were exchanged. A well-deserved get-together for networking rounded off the successful day in the evening.
And now? Together with our Cluster Advisory Board and Cluster partners, we will form the individual project consortia for the second funding period over the next few months. With monthly webinars, we will support the project teams in their development process in terms of content and organization. With the goal: to submit potential project teams with specific objectives for the second funding phase at the MCube Pitch Day at the end of September or October.
With over 130 new employees, Germany's future cluster MCube at Munich Urban Colab entered the next project phase on April 9, 2025 - and at full speed.
