1st Thuringian Mobility Conference 2025

Successful.

27 and 28 March 2025
COMCENTER Brühl | Mainzerhofstraße 10 | Erfurt

A look back: Mobility experts from science, politics, and business met on March 27 and 28, 2025, for the 1st Thuringian Mobility Conference at the COMCENTER Erfurt. 

Representatives from various mobility-related sectors met - bundled under the umbrella of the Thuringian Mobility Network (TMN) - to gain an impression of the status quo of the transport transition in the Free State and to exchange ideas within the framework of the young network association. The goal: to continuously improve mobility in Thuringia in all its multifaceted scope.

The focus was on information and findings from the TMN working groups, on transport infrastructure in Thuringia, on the work of the MOVEwell network, as well as practical reports from municipalities and companies in the form of presentations. Questions and challenges were communicated by the audience, but also directly discussed during a panel. Combined with the presentation of exhibitors from the transport and cross-sector industries at a “Market of Mobility” and sunny spring weather, the 2-day Thuringian Mobility Conference ended on March 28, 2025 - the first of its kind since the founding of the Thuringian Mobility Network in July 2024.

The feedback on the event was positive. What do you think? If you would like to share information and suggestions on this or within the framework of the Thuringian Mobility Network, please use the Contact area of the TMN or contact the project contacts of ITF Thuringia 2030 directly.
