Experience the future of mobility: Mobility Festival at Jungfernstieg!

Next Saturday, June 14, 2025, the Jungfernstieg in Hamburg will be transformed into a vibrant center of mobility innovation. Because then the Mobility Festival Hamburg will take place, which will be celebrated as part of the UITP Summit 2025 (June 15th to 18th). “Free entry” is the motto, and from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. visitors can look forward to an exciting program about the future of urban transportation.

The festival aims to present various sustainable transport concepts and offer the opportunity to test out new means of transport such as sharing concepts or autonomous driving. Visitors can look forward to music and comedy acts, including Riva Leon, Roast Apple and up-and-coming artist Benny Stark.

Sustainability and digitalization

Sustainability plays a central role at the Mobility Festival. Traveling to this event can be done in an environmentally friendly way by foot, bike or public transport, which encourages everyone interested to act in an environmentally friendly manner. Another important aspect is the use of the new UITP Summit app, which helps guests organize their personal schedule. The app not only offers an overview of the sessions and rooms, but also information about exhibitors and speakers. UITP.org adds that…

Over 10,000 participants from more than 100 countries are expected at the summit, and over 300 exhibitors are represented. Keynote speaker Benita Matofska, an expert in sustainability and social innovation, will also enrich the event with valuable insights. The focus on innovative solutions and Hamburg's thriving economy, which is also reflected in a record investment of 1 billion euros in 2023, shows the city's potential. Hamburg's HOCHBAHN, which transported over 468 million passengers last year, has even exceeded pre-pandemic passenger numbers - a clear indication of the continued development and improvement of services in the mobility industry.

A review with an outlook

For the city of Hamburg, the UITP Summit is not only a highlight in the event calendar, but also a significant opportunity to position itself as a pioneer in sustainable mobility. The city will host the summit again in 2027, underlining Hamburg's importance for the future of mobility. The challenges that transport companies face in terms of increasing costs for personnel, construction and energy are not ignored - after all, the quality of services also depends on how well these challenges are mastered. The anticipation for the Mobility Festival and the Summit is great, and whether you come with your own vehicle, by bike or on foot - everyone is warmly invited to become part of this exciting event and discover the future of mobility.
