First meeting of the MUBIL Mobility Expo 2024 Technical Committee

  • The Technical Committee of the fair met this morning at Ficoba
  • Six months prior to the start date, 30% of the exhibition space is already sold
  • MUBIL Mobility Expo will be held at Ficoba on 17 and 18 April

(Donostia-San Sebastian, 2 October 2023). The Technical Committee of MUBIL Mobility Expo, Southern Europe’s professional trade show for the sustainable mobility industry, met this morning at Ficoba, the exhibition’s venue.

Participants at the meeting learnt about the progress of the different organisational aspects, such as attracting exhibitor companies and organising the array of activities that make MUBIL Mobility Expo the professional meeting point for the value chain of clean, accessible, secure and connected sustainability mobility. The main public and private actors converge at this event, geared to providing industrial and digital solutions for the current needs and future challenges of sustainable mobility.

The first sales figures have been released and a good response from the sector is clear, with 30% of the exhibition space already sold at a time when smart, sustainable mobility, one of the biggest global challenges, is being pushed to make numerous decisions, particularly regarding the pace of adopting solutions to address this challenge.

The next MUBIL Mobility Expo is therefore an even greater opportunity for the entire sustainable mobility value chain, which will have the chance to pool information, solutions, commitments and perspectives on how this challenge should be met.

This MUBIL Mobility Expo will also enhance its offer of meeting points, with sector debate forums on real issues to be faced, creating spaces for discussion on topics such as the green hydrogen alternative, last mile transport or charging infrastructure.

The spotlight will also be on the offerings of the exhibitor companies, who will be able to present their own conferences after selection by a panel of experts.

These two initiatives are a new addition to the habitual conference schedule with Spanish and international speakers, and the information activity will be rounded off with the City Market Place, where different European cities present their specific sustainable mobility challenges and companies offer products, services and solutions to address them.

About MUBIL Mobility Expo

The Basque Country is one of the most cutting-edge regions addressing research, manufacture, development and deployment of new products, services and solutions for sustainable mobility.

MUBIL Hub, the Basque Country’s smart sustainable mobility hub created as part of the Gipuzkoa Regional Government’s “Etorkizuna Eraikiz” initiative and supported by the Basque Government and the Basque Energy Board (EVE), will make a decisive contribution to this effort with the aim of strengthening the existing capacities in this sector, driving its development and reinforcing the competitiveness and international positioning of the business fabric in this field.

The Basque Country has an experienced and innovative industrial fabric distributed throughout the value chain, from leading companies, technology centres recognised at a European level and dynamic and specialised clusters to universities that bring together talent, vocational training centres, entrepreneurial initiatives and pioneering public agents in the definition and deployment of innovative mobility solutions.

All of this has created a sufficient critical mass to launch a project such as MUBIL Mobility Expo, which was created in the Basque Country, but which is aimed at the whole of southern Europe. MUBIL Mobility Expo is an event promoted by MUBIL with the collaboration of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, the Basque Government and the Ente Vasco de la Energía.
