In the future, the ways people get around will change – whether in big cities, small towns or out in the countryside. The same applies to freight transport. The main drivers of these changes are technologies such as autonomous driving and the growth of electric vehicles. There are also long-term trends: many cities are growing, and many consumers are more aware of sustainability and the environment.
These developments are affecting various economic sectors, from the automotive and energy industries to the public sector and logistics. With traditional market boundaries increasingly being torn down, decision-makers are looking for new mobility paradigms and business models.
Connectivity, data, transport modes, transport networks and transport infrastructure are combining to create smart mobility – solutions that not only transport us, but move us forwards as well.

Standing out from the competition as an attractive mobility provider requires companies to take innovative, data-driven routes. So far, very few mobility providers have exploited the potential of data because accessing and processing their own mobility data is proving to be a challenge in itself.
More than ever before, local and state governments are having to adapt to today’s influences and trends. Urban growth, climate change and digitalisation are just a few of the many challenges they have to face. In order to keep society functioning in the future, they must find intelligent solutions and develop further.
Together with Strategy& and the Handelsblatt Research Institute, we highlight how Germany can unlock new growth potential — and translate transformation into long-term value.
“CAS Smart Mobility Management – driven by SMART Data & SMART Cities” is an executive programme at the University of St.Gallen which aims to act as a fitness programme for the mobility revolution. The transformation of mobility has already begun, but can only succeed if all players, both public and private, work together to develop new mobility ecosystems. We are therefore pleased to be a partner in this programme for the fifth year in a row, supporting two startups with a grant of 50% of their tuition fees. Let’s rethink mobility together.
The University of St.Gallen (HSG) and PwC Germany have signed a cooperation agreement for joint, application-oriented research activities. In the newly founded Lab for Smart Mobility, researchers are developing innovations for mobility of the future together with experts in the field.
