Future of Transportation – Mobility as a Service and Urban Air Mobility

This event will be in a Webinar Session format.

Singapore is amongst the leading cities to drive research efforts and explore the current technologies as part of its Smart City vision. Transportation is an integral part of this vision and EcoLabs will focus on two topics that will heavily impact urban environments like Singapore – Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM).

The first segment on MaaS will provide insights into the trends that drive the implementation of MaaS solutions, sustainability mobility, case studies of MaaS in Singapore and project opportunities for mobility startups.

The second segment on UAM will shed light on a potential roadmap for UAM in Singapore, technology gaps that EcoLabs’ will look to plug and testbedding opportunities.

For this vision for the future of transporation to become a reality, deep collaborations between innovators, investors and policy makers are needed.

Join us at this free webinar and hear more from Dr Aravind Muthiah, Lead, Mobility and Energy Storage, EcoLabs Centre of Innovation for Energy and Ryan Jin, Lead, Smart City and Future Mobility, EcoLabs Centre of Innovation for Energy.
