1st Thuringian Mobility Conference 2025

Successful.

March 27 and 28, 2025
COMCENTER Brühl | Mainzerhofstrasse 10 | Erfurt

Looking 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 – united under the umbrella of the Thuringian Mobility Network (TMN) – to gain an understanding of the current state of the transport transition in the Free State and to exchange ideas within the framework of this newly established network. The goal: to continuously improve mobility in Thuringia in all its multifaceted aspects.

The focus was on information and findings from the TMN working groups regarding transport infrastructure in Thuringia, the work of the MOVEwell network, and practical reports from municipalities and companies in the form of presentations. Questions and challenges were raised by the audience and also discussed directly during a panel discussion. Combined with presentations from exhibitors representing transport and related industries at a "Mobility Market" and sunny spring weather, the two-day Thuringian Mobility Conference concluded 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 regarding this or the work of the Thuringian Mobility Network, please use the TMN Contact section or contact the project team for ITF Thuringia 2030 directly.
