Thuringian ITF Forum 2025
December 12, 2025 | 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
COMCENTER Brühl | Mainzerhofstrasse 10 | Erfurt
With a clear vision for the future, Thuringian Minister for Digital Affairs and Infrastructure, Steffen Schütz, and the Managing Director of LEG Thüringen, Sabine Wosche, opened the ITF Mobility Forum. The event made it clear: Thuringia is embarking on a path to set the course for the mobility of tomorrow. Autonomous driving will be a key future issue, and the Free State of Thuringia aims to play a leading role in this field.
The plan is for the region to participate as a model for Germany. The interfaces with the Integrated Timetable project are clearly identifiable, and the progress is encouraging. The Thuringian Mobility Network will also focus on this topic next year. For the first time, funds for the Integrated Timetable are included in the budget – an important step for its implementation.
The Forum: A successful event with satisfied participants and setting the course for 2026.
