European Transport Conference: Driving Dialogue, Innovation, and Sustainability in the Future of Mobility

Each year, the European Transport Conference (ETC) convenes hundreds of professionals from across the continent planners, engineers, academics, and policy makers united by a shared goal: solving the pressing transport challenges of our time. Organized by the Association for European Transport (AET), the ETC has grown into one of the most respected forums for critical discussion and the exchange of practical, innovative transport solutions across European, national, regional, and local levels.

From the transformation of urban mobility to the digitalisation of freight logistics, the ETC reflects the evolving nature of transport in a rapidly changing world. And in this space where theory meets practice, participants are not just learning they’re shaping the future of European transportation policy and infrastructure.

A Pan-European Platform for Transport Collaboration

What makes the European Transport Conference uniquely valuable is its interdisciplinary approach. While many conferences focus solely on academic research or industry showcases, the ETC bridges these two worlds. It provides a structured, yet informal environment where:

Research is presented in a real-world policy context

Decision-makers engage with technical innovations

Private and public sector representatives share knowledge

Collaborative networks are formed across disciplines and borders

Participants come from all corners of Europe and increasingly beyond bringing with them different experiences, transport models, and policy perspectives. This diversity not only enriches discussion but helps shape more inclusive and adaptive transport solutions.

Focus Areas: From Urban Mobility to Supply Chain Digitisation

Each edition of the ETC offers an expansive program with multiple streams. These streams explore sector-specific themes, allowing attendees to deep dive into areas such as mobility planning, infrastructure investment, freight and logistics, environmental sustainability, and transport technology.

Among the many relevant and timely topics, key discussions often include:

The impact of climate policy on future infrastructure investment

Integration of active travel modes (walking, cycling) into urban networks

Technological disruption in the form of AI, automation, and smart mobility

Policies for improving public transport efficiency and accessibility

The evolution of freight and logistics through digital platforms

Cross-border connectivity and the European Green Deal objectives

The ETC is not limited to one dimension of transport. It embraces complexity, aiming to provide a holistic perspective that acknowledges how closely urban design, technology, human behavior, and logistics interact in the real world.

Freight and Logistics: The Digital Shift Reshaping the Sector

In recent years, the role of digital innovation in logistics has gained significant attention across ETC sessions. The pandemic, climate targets, and increased supply chain volatility have accelerated the sector’s transformation a shift that has drawn in technology providers like ICT Logistics and others that are redefining operational standards.

Digital logistics platforms today do more than just manage data. They enable transparency, coordination, and agility across the supply chain, empowering businesses to adapt in real time to changing conditions from fuel prices to customer expectations.

The digital evolution of logistics includes:

Real-time tracking of goods and vehicle fleets

Predictive analytics for supply and demand forecasting

Automation of warehouse and transport operations

Integrations with sustainability reporting tools

Collaborative portals connecting retailers, manufacturers, and transporters

Companies like ICT Logistics illustrate the growing emphasis on end-to-end digitisation. By guiding clients through complex digital transitions and offering scalable, modular platforms, they represent a broader trend within ETC conversations: the convergence of tech and transport as inseparable parts of future strategy.

The Role of the ETC in Shaping Policy and Practice

While many events focus on short-term tech trends or isolated use cases, the European Transport Conference has a much broader mandate: to influence long-term, systemic thinking. Through white papers, panel debates, and collaborative initiatives, the conference often acts as a seedbed for new policies and cross-border projects.

Moreover, the ETC encourages data-driven approaches to transport planning, ensuring that strategy is built on research, not rhetoric. This emphasis on evidence is particularly crucial as Europe continues to invest in sustainable infrastructure and clean mobility under the EU’s Fit for 55 package and broader climate goals.

The ETC promotes:

Multilevel cooperation between local authorities, national governments, and the EU

Innovation transfer from academia and startups to operational systems

Standards and frameworks for integrating emerging technologies

Inclusive design principles, ensuring access for all user groups

Environmentally responsible planning in both passenger and freight sectors

These outputs are not merely theoretical. Many policy shifts and pilot programs across Europe can trace their roots back to conversations that began at past ETCs.

Building Stronger Connections Within the Transport Ecosystem

One of the most valuable aspects of attending the European Transport Conference is the opportunity to meet and collaborate with peers across the continent. The event’s structure encourages interaction, not isolation. Whether in formal sessions or coffee breaks, the environment is designed to promote genuine connection and knowledge exchange.

Attendees benefit from:

Themed working groups and roundtable discussions

Interactive poster presentations from early career researchers

Dedicated networking events for private sector and public agencies

Opportunities to meet EU project coordinators and funding bodies

Informal social events that foster long-term professional relationships

For professionals in both the public and private sectors, this is not just a conference it’s a community. A space where shared challenges turn into joint initiatives, and where innovation is scaled through collaboration.

Why the European Transport Conference Matters More Than Ever

As Europe faces the dual pressures of climate urgency and technological disruption, the need for collaborative, informed, and inclusive transport planning has never been greater. The European Transport Conference rises to this challenge by providing a space where deep technical knowledge meets practical policy action.

For logistics companies embracing digitisation, for cities reimagining mobility, and for academics seeking impact the ETC is not just a place to present. It is a place to participate in shaping the next chapter of European transportation.
