As cities grapple with congestion, climate commitments and rapid technological change, the future of mobility is being reshaped by new governance models, digital systems and emerging technologies. Recorded live at IT-TRANS in Karlsruhe, this CEO Roundtable explores how transport authorities, cities and technology providers are navigating the transition toward what many are calling the era of Mobility 5.0.

Hosted by Dr. Kaan Yıldızgöz, the discussion brings together a diverse group of mobility leaders from across Europe and Africa: Endre Angelvik, EVP Radical Innovation at Ruter; Tobias Brzoskowski, Managing Director of New Mobility Solutions Hamburg; Fernando Andela, CEO of the Maputo Transit Agency; Guido Di Pasquale, Managing Director of PAVE Europe; and Dr. Eva Fraedrich, Senior Manager at Ramboll Management Consulting in Berlin.

The conversation examines how public transport authorities are evolving from traditional service managers into mobility orchestrators, responsible for integrating multiple transport modes and digital platforms. Panelists share experiences from cities such as Oslo and Hamburg, highlighting how governance structures, data infrastructure and strategic pilot projects are enabling innovation. The discussion also explores the growing role of digitalisation and data in transforming operations, integrating shared mobility services and improving decision-making across complex urban transport systems.

The panel also tackles some of the most debated topics in mobility today, including autonomous vehicles, robotaxis and their potential relationship with public transport. Alongside this, the conversation considers the realities faced by cities in the Global South, where informal transport plays a major role, and looks at the growing push toward electrification and sustainable fleets. Together, these perspectives provide a global view of how mobility systems may evolve over the next decade and the governance choices that will shape that future.

Milano-Cortina 2026 was not a single-city Games. With events spread across regions and alpine corridors, it was a real stress test for regional mobility, governance and passenger experience.

Dr. Francesca Pili, Executive Director and Board Member at FNM Group, explains how an integrated mobility model can deliver everyday reliability while scaling for major events. She covers system-level optimisation across infrastructure, fleets, renewable energy and digital operations, plus FNM’s decarbonisation roadmap including fleet renewal, renewable generation and hydrogen trains.

You’ll hear practical lessons on capacity planning under uncertainty, aligning stakeholders early, and designing legacy that lasts. The conversation also looks ahead to 2030: automation, AI literacy, and why cultural change is essential for digital transformation.

Public transport authorities are being challenged to rethink their role in an era of climate pressure, digital acceleration and rising public expectations. The question is no longer just how to operate services, but how to orchestrate entire mobility systems.

In this episode, Dr Kaan Yildizgöz speaks with Endre Angelvik, Executive Vice President of Radical Innovation at Ruter AS. Together, they explore how Ruter has moved beyond the traditional PTA model towards becoming a system orchestrator, guided by a vision of sustainable freedom of movement.

The discussion examines how governance can actively enable radical innovation, and how Ruter has prepared its organisation for AI- and data-driven mobility through long-term investment in culture, standards and experimentation.
