SUMMARY:Annual Conference at Interchange
DESCRIPTION:The ITS UK Conference focuses on how transport technology can lead to a greener\, safer\, more efficient and better integrated transport network\, bringing together leading technologists\, government officials\, policy makers and industry leaders.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ITS UK Annual Conference is our major national\, strategic event\, bringing together the transport technology industry to discuss key issues of the day. The Conference is part of Interchange\, the national infrastructure event focused on achieving a seamless and sustainable transport system that works for people\, the economy and the environment. \nAlongside the ITS UK Annual Conference\, Interchange incorporates and co-locates with TIP (Transforming Infrastructure Performance) Live and the STB Conference; bringing together major public and private transport infrastructure clients\, national and local transport authorities and with their upstream supply chains and the energy\, property and tech sectors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Conference\nThe ITS UK Annual Conference will explore how technology is reshaping mobility. The Conference will explore the four key topics of connectivity and autonomy\, integration\, sustainability and society and industry growth\, with speakers from government at all levels and companies of all sizes. \nConnectivity and Autonomy\nTechnology is increasingly enabling greater connectivity between infrastructure\, vehicles and the wider network. With the UK leading the way in autonomous vehicle technology\, we’ll explore how the industry is delivering connected and automated mobility\, and the greater use of data and AI to achieve it. \nIntegration\nThrough smart ticketing\, mobility as a service and new forms of shared mobility\, the UK has the opportunity to develop a more joined-up and seamless experience for transport users. We’ll explore what building blocks need to be in place to create a fully integrated network. We’ll look at the current state of play for new micromobility services\, and the benefits they can provide. \nSustainability and Society\nAs one of the largest emitters of CO2 and air pollution\, it is more urgent than ever that the transport industry ramps up its decarbonisation efforts. We’ll explore technologies role in achieving net zero across the transport network. We’ll also explore how we ensure we deliver greater safety\, in the road to Zero Harm. \nIndustry Growth\nThe global ITS sector is expected to grow by 7.7% up to 2030. How can the UK best take advantage of this growth and best utilise the many businesses and globally-regarded expertise we have on our shores? We’ll explore the value of transport as a key strategic growth sector\, one which the UK can develop a competitive advantage in\, from which to export and grow abroad.

SUMMARY:SME & Start-Up Conference
DESCRIPTION:SMEs constitute 99% of all companies in the UK\, making them of critical importance to the economy. In transport\, SMEs and start-ups are vital across all modes\, providing products and services to all parts of sector\, acting as a source of new thinking and ideas and supporting jobs and investment in local communities. \nTransport technology has long benefited from its many start-ups\, spin-offs and small businesses\, but it is vital that the industry continues to support these organisations\, providing the right environment for them to flourish and grow. For these companies\, having visibility of upcoming work\, clear and accessible procurement processes and understanding of how transport authorities and multi-national organisations can work with them\, is critical. \nThe ITS UK SME and Start-Up Conference seeks to explore how we can create the right environment from which smaller transport technology businesses can thrive.
