The 2022 edition of IT-TRANS took place in person and online from 10 to 12 May 2022, in Karlsruhe, Germany. You could have attended the full experience on-site or a selection of the sessions online from wherever you happened to be.

Mobility in Karlsruhe

The future belongs to ecological and intelligent smart city concepts that combine mobility, sustainable energy systems and digitalisation.

In the Karlsruhe region, leading experts from the public transport sector have joined forces to tackle mobility challenges facing the city. The region offers the perfect ecosystem that fosters innovation.

The city has developed sustainable and efficient mobility systems flexibly based on-demand by combining different modes of transport. Passengers reach their destinations – quickly, comfortably, safely and ecologically - even across borders to French Alsace.

Innovative mobility solutions like the tram-train system that were developed and successfully tested in Karlsruhe are being implemented throughout Europe and worldwide.

Karlsruhe has always been a mobility pioneer. Today this translates into a strong commitment to design the mobility of the future. We enjoy a unique ecosystem that brings together science, universities, industry, politics and a trailblazing public transport provider. The innovative capacity of the Karlsruhe Mobility Cluster is strongly recognised in the public transport sector. One example is the unique Innovation Partnership of Karlsruhe with UITP, the International Association of Public Transport, headquartered in Brussels.
