Munich in action - At the central stand of Bayern International, the Bavarian mobility ecosystem was in top form:
MCube members from the Technical University of Munich, the City of Munich, the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Metropolitan Region of Munich, the Digital Hub Mobility, TUM Venture Labs, Plan4Better, Haselhorst Associates Consulting and Bayern Innovativ GmbH were also present
Under the leadership of Johanna Wantzen (MCube), the stand quickly became a hotspot for international exchange - a place where shared visions for better mobility took shape.

One thing is clear: autonomous fleets offer enormous potential - but legal uncertainties and high implementation costs are currently still holding back many innovations.
MCube on Stage - A particular highlight was the presentation by our colleague Melanie Grötsch (City of Munich) on the issue: "How do we address underrepresentation and mobility poverty in sustainable change?" In the panel discussion with Christiane Malina (City of Hasselt) and Claudia Falkinger, moderated by Naomi Lloydbecame impressively clear:
"We need better data for better decisions" - especially when it comes to mobility justice.

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?
