Dr. Sonja Rube

MCube:

• What fascinates you about the innovation landscape of mobility in the region?
  
  • I am fascinated by the enormous innovative power at all levels and all the cooperative network activities for which the Munich region has always been admired.
• What key challenge do you see for the future of mobility?
  • For me, one of the biggest challenges is to reach a social understanding on the future of mobility that makes us all look forward to the future again. Currently, the future of mobility is often misused to polarize people.
• What perspective or expertise do you bring to the MCube Supervisory Board?
  
  • As an innovation and transformation manager, I bring a great deal of technical expertise in innovative mobility design. Above all, however, it is the process-based approach to transformation design and participation to which I can contribute my scientific perspective in addition to countless practical projects.
• For me, MCube means...
  
  • Innovation development in high culture.
