I’m looking forward to moderating at UITP MENA (2024) from 28th February to 1st March. The conference is on the theme of “Shaping Sustainable Mobility Futures: UITP MENA 2024 conference. It is held at an interesting time since the MENA region is at a crossroads, facing rapid urbanisation and the need for greener transportation solutions, held in Dubai from 28th February to 1st March.

UTIP MENA gathers industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to discuss critical topics like electric buses, hydrogen mobility, and digitalization with a keynote speaker from Professor Carlo Ratti. Beyond technology, the conference discusses policy frameworks and best practices for promoting sustainable public transport. Participants explore strategies for financing, infrastructure development, and integrating public transport seamlessly into urban planning.

Collaboration is at the heart of UITP MENA 2024, fostering connections and knowledge exchange between stakeholders. By sharing experiences and best practices, the event aims to accelerate the region’s transition towards a more sustainable and integrated transport network.
