Smart Infrastructure & Energy Week

a week-long series of events featuring live broadcasts, exclusive interviews, interactive briefings, webinars, and workshops.


2021 is set to be a critical year for transportation with decarbonization plans gathering speed ahead of COP26. As Larry Fink said “There is no company whose business model won’t be profoundly affected by the transition to a net zero economy”

Intelligent infrastructure and clean energy are key components of the transportation roadmap to Net Zero, and as such, we are excited to welcome you to Smart Infrastructure & Energy Week, May 24-28.

Smart Infrastructure & Energy Week convenes ministers, mayors, and transport authorities, with forward thinking Executives from OEMs, big data, construction, and energy companies to discuss the intelligent transport systems and clean energy solutions that will power the transportation systems of the future.

Join us to identify the business models, revenue strategies, infrastructural requirements and public/private partnerships that reduce emissions, finance and enable the safe and equitable movement of people, goods and services.

25TH MAY: INTERACTIVE BRIEFING

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles and the Sustainable Smart City

Integrating connected vehicles with intelligent transportation systems is essential to create the platform for low emission autonomous solutions. Huge challenges persist regarding effective regulation and policy setting, around safety and open access data.

  • Regulation and policy setting that target safety, consumer adoption and open access data between public and private sectors.
  • The relationship and reliance of electrification and clean energy on connectivity and autonomy
  • The roles CAV will play in future mobility services and intelligent transportation systems.
  • Innovative business models, market opportunities and societal/economic impacts resulting from CAV executions.

26TH MAY: INTERACTIVE BRIEFING

Delivering Zero Emission Transport in North America

The Biden administration has made sustainable and zero-emission transport a key priority, with ambitious infrastructure plans and budgets. This presents huge decarbonization opportunities for the transport sector, but also multiple execution challenges demanding new infrastructure, policy, permits, and public-private partnership.

  • Creating the charging infrastructure for mass transit, fleets, and passenger vehicles
  • Establishing long-term partnerships between DOTs, Municipalities, Utility and charging companies
  • Understanding true costs and timelines for deployment
  • Setting benchmarks and strategies that translate targets and policy into sustainable low emission solutions.

27TH MAY: INTERACTIVE BRIEFING

Transitioning Mobility Data into Partnership and Delivery Strategies for DOTs and Cities

As we move towards new mobility models and trying to reduce single car ownership the relationship between vehicle data and the cities and DOTs has never been more important. In this session we explore the evolving relationship between data and governments, and how they can shape our future mobility systems.

  • How connected vehicle data can shape a regional mobility strategy.
  • Examples of connected data at work
  • Bringing it all together – understanding the complexities, demands and requirements from cities, DOTs to optimize vehicle data.
