The upcoming networking event "Smart Mobility & Smart City Award - What can Munich and Hamburg learn from each other in the field of smart mobility" goes online on September 22, 2020 to focus on the added value of new mobility services, whether they make cities smarter and the role of public transport in future.

Presented by Dr. Sebastian Saxe, Chairman of the Executive Board of This, the networking event features two keynotes by state representatives from Hamburg and Munich. The panel discussion will include representatives of Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH, SAP SE and Hamburger Hochbahn AG. The Hamburg Port Authority will present the Smart City Compass and the Smart City Award.

A jury will select the three most promising projects for the Smart City Award, which honours "the best and most sustainable smart city projects and initiatives" in Germany. During a follow-up event, those behind the ideas will have an opportunity to pitch their projects to an audience.
