The future of mobility needs to address these challenges to ensure sustainability. With IMPact, we aim to create a smart, data-driven and sustainable eco-system for urban mobility that has value for all stakeholders: travellers, OEMs, City Councils, and Mobility Service Providers.”
Another initiative by VentureDive is the ‘VenD Mobility Lab’ that drives digital modernization in areas such as Mobility-as-a-Service, Location-based Services, Route Management, and Autonomous Vehicles.
