FT Future of Transport Summit

Description

We are entering a new era of mobility driven by digitalisation. Traditional modes of transport are being redefined by autonomy and connectivity. Air taxis, hyperloops and driverless cars are all making the leap from science fiction to reality. The future is coming, but are we ready for it?

The FT Future of Transport Summit will assess the true potential of emerging mobility solutions and consider their impact on different stakeholders. How is connectivity changing the way we travel in cities? What will the future of transport mean for jobs? What can regulators do to support progress? Join us in London on 29 November 2018 to find out.

On the ground and in the air, things are changing, let’s prepare!
