CEO Roundtable: Entering the Era of Mobility 5.0 Recorded Live @ IT-TRANS, Karlsruhe 2026

As cities grapple with congestion, climate commitments and rapid technological change, the future of mobility is being reshaped by new governance models, digital systems and emerging technologies. Recorded live at IT-TRANS in Karlsruhe, this CEO Roundtable explores how transport authorities, cities and technology providers are navigating the transition toward what many are calling the era of Mobility 5.0.

Hosted by Dr. Kaan Yıldızgöz, the discussion brings together a diverse group of mobility leaders from across Europe and Africa: Endre Angelvik, EVP Radical Innovation at Ruter; Tobias Brzoskowski, Managing Director of New Mobility Solutions Hamburg; Fernando Andela, CEO of the Maputo Transit Agency; Guido Di Pasquale, Managing Director of PAVE Europe; and Dr. Eva Fraedrich, Senior Manager at Ramboll Management Consulting in Berlin.

The conversation examines how public transport authorities are evolving from traditional service managers into mobility orchestrators, responsible for integrating multiple transport modes and digital platforms. Panelists share experiences from cities such as Oslo and Hamburg, highlighting how governance structures, data infrastructure and strategic pilot projects are enabling innovation. The discussion also explores the growing role of digitalisation and data in transforming operations, integrating shared mobility services and improving decision-making across complex urban transport systems.

The panel also tackles some of the most debated topics in mobility today, including autonomous vehicles, robotaxis and their potential relationship with public transport. Alongside this, the conversation considers the realities faced by cities in the Global South, where informal transport plays a major role, and looks at the growing push toward electrification and sustainable fleets. Together, these perspectives provide a global view of how mobility systems may evolve over the next decade and the governance choices that will shape that future.
