THE 2021 EVENT

Learn more about our 2021 hybrid event

One of the resounding key strengths of African culture is the ability to work together under the principles of Ubuntu – ‘I am because you are’. The same principle has been applied to the overall theme for this year’s Smarter Mobility Africa 2021. This year’s Smarter Mobility Africa looks at taking a deep-dive into achieving and maintaining strong collaboration in the transport sector. To be at the forefront of change and in alignment with the Global Sustainable Development Goals, Africa must work as a collective to transition to cleaner modes of mobility to reduce its carbon footprint and improve air quality, whilst ensuring that mobility serves everyone

From 5 -7 October 2021, our attendees learnt three key-take away points:

  1. How can we shift our mindsets to welcome new narratives for Smarter Mobility?
  2. How is Africa building strong and meaningful relationships to carry out new technologies in achieving Smarter Mobility?
  3. In future, how will Smarter Mobility change the landscape of transport across Africa?

Our 2021 digital event topics

Public Transport

The global pandemic has quickly set in a new reality which demands innovation within public transport. Gone are the days where public transport services are left behind.

Electric Vehicles

When it comes to electric vehicle adoption, Africa should be setting its own agenda.

Walking & Cycling

Walking and cycling are still the highest modes of transport for urban commuters in African cities.

Mobility As A Service

A key defining conversation for the future of transport in the city needs to include mobility as a service.

Learn More

Formal and informal transport in Africa has taken a significant hit as a result of lockdowns and preventative measures. Whilst at the same time new solutions and innovations have been created to navigate the challenges and constant changes. We have an imperative conversation about how to tackle challenges and increase solutions around safety, cost, ease of access, equality, public health and the environment.

Africa is taking back its power and dictating its own agenda for electric vehicle adoption. Within this session we look at an overview of the global perspective for EV adoption trends and narrow down to key adoption trends and challenges within the continent. With many challenges to tackle and huge opportunities to embrace, the tectonic shift in the automotive industry towards electric has created a once in a century opportunity to be at the forefront the value creation. Not to be missed hot-topic debates, panel discussions and engaging roundtables.

Learn More

With a high proportion of people in Africa walking, and some cycling to commute and get around, it’s important to discuss the benefits of walking and cycling, why we should be working to increase that mode of transport, but more importantly what needs to be improved to ensure that pedestrians are safe – what policy changes are needed, what infrastructure needs and investment are there, and what are the advocacy and perceptions to create a safer environment for walking and cycling.

Learn More

African cities are growing by the day with a high youth population. Public transport will need to appeal to digital solutions to keep up with the youth. Shared platforms and providing mobility as a service are the next steps to solving urban transport congestion and challenges. In this session we discuss on-demand transport, shared mobility and ride-sharing. We take a look at how modern tech inventions can improve public transport.
