Beyond Electrification

Electrification is transforming transport, but the future of mobility depends on much more than vehicles alone. This session brings together leading Swedish innovators to explore how transport, energy, infrastructure, and design must work together to create mobility systems that are efficient, accessible, and sustainable.

From (Candela) electric hydrofoil ferries and next-generation public transport (Volvo Busses) to the infrastructure needed to support them, the discussion will focus on practical solutions that are already shaping how people move through cities and regions.

Through real-world examples and lessons learned, the session will explore what becomes possible when mobility is designed around people rather than vehicles, and how innovation can create cleaner, smarter, and more connected communities.

Session Learnings:

• Gain insights into how transport, energy, and infrastructure must work together to enable sustainable mobility at scale.
• Learn how Swedish companies are developing innovative mobility solutions across land and water transportation.
• Understand the opportunities and challenges involved in scaling electrified and low-emission transport systems.
• Explore how people-centred mobility can improve connectivity, accessibility, and quality of life in cities and communities.
• Discover practical examples of collaboration between industry, infrastructure providers, and other stakeholders driving the mobility transition.

Post-Event Actions:

• Re-evaluate mobility challenges through a systems perspective, considering the connections between transport, energy, infrastructure, and user needs.
• Identify opportunities to accelerate sustainable mobility initiatives within their own organisations, cities, or projects.
• Explore new partnerships and collaborations that can support the development of integrated mobility solutions.
• Consider how mobility investments can deliver broader benefits, including improved accessibility, efficiency, and quality of life.
• Apply lessons from Swedish innovation and real-world case studies to future mobility and infrastructure planning
