We are a network for smart and sustainable transport
Globally, the transport sector is at an exciting stage of development, as both people and vehicles are connected to information and energy networks and become one of the most dynamic business sectors in the world.
The signs of change are visible in the Smart City plans of cities, in the strategies of car manufacturers and in investment news around the world.
We want to be part of this transformation.
In 2024, our activities will focus on working towards the creation of digitally-enabled transport ecosystems and promoting Finnish smart and sustainable transport know-how in both national and international markets.
