This year, Dubai takes centre stage as it hosts the landmark 30th ITS World Congress organised by Ertico in collaboration with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Attracting up to 20,000 participants from over 100 countries, the Congress stands as a premier event in smart mobility and sustainable transportation.

The ITS Congresses bridge the worlds of mobility, technology and innovation, gathering experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from industry and academia to advance the intelligent transport systems (ITS) field. Recognising that mobility challenges transcend borders, these Congresses address not only local and national concerns but also global ones, fostering a worldwide dialogue on smart mobility solutions.

Driven by Ertico every two years in Europe and every third year in the EMEA region for the ITS World Congress, these events lead the charge in global ITS collaboration and innovation. 

This year’s congress in Dubai marks a landmark occasion as the first ITS World Congress in United Arab Emirates, spotlighting the strong partnership between Ertico and RTA. This partnership underlines a mutual commitment to pushing the boundaries of smart mobility, with Dubai’s innovative landscape and RTA’s strategic vision creating an ideal backdrop for the Congress.

With over 800 international speakers and more than 200 technical sessions, it promises groundbreaking research and transformative insights, positioning itself as a key platform for global leaders to exchange cutting-edge strategies and solutions.

A highlight of this year's Congress is the Future of Mobility Summit.
