MOWO at the UITP Summit 2025: connecting urban mobility with global projects

From June 15 to 18, 2025, the city of Hamburg became the most important meeting point in the sector with the celebration of the UITP Global Public Transport Summit. MOWO had the honor of attending this event as part of its vision to promote smart, sustainable, and inclusive mobility in Latin America, and to draw from the best practices that are currently shaping the future of urban transport worldwide.

During our visit, we had the opportunity to experience first-hand innovative projects, keynote presentations, and immersive experiences from cities, operators, and companies that are transforming the way we move. Among the highlights was MOIA, the shared mobility company backed by the Volkswagen Group, which presented advances in autonomous mobility and took part in the “New Mobility” forum, where the future of driverless, multimodal, and on-demand urban transport was discussed—an approach closely aligned with MOWO’s vision.

We also explored the NEXUS Project, driven by UITP and various European cities. This project applies artificial intelligence to improve the passenger experience in public transport, with pilot programs in metro systems like those of Genoa and Sofia. Its focus on continuous improvement, digitalization, and data use gave us concrete ideas applicable to the Mexican context. Another key takeaway came from IMOVE, a European Mobility as a Service (MaaS) project developing urban labs in cities like Berlin, Turin, and Manchester. The integration of different transport modes into a single digital platform reinforces MOWO’s vision of promoting more efficient, user-centered intermodality.

We also took part in sessions on governance of on-demand mobility, where we learned how different cities are building regulatory frameworks that are more flexible yet effective for integrating emerging services such as ridesharing, electric scooters, and personalized transport.
