ROUND TABLE | CITY MARKET PLACE IN COLLABORATION WITH EIT URBAN MOBILITY

Move Bold: City stories of urban mobility wins and learnings

Cities are laboratories for the future of how we move. In this fast‑paced panel, city leaders tell raw, real stories — the unexpected roadblocks, bold experiments, rapid pivots, and hard‑won wins — that turned congestion, exclusion, and danger into safer, cleaner, and more efficient streets. Expect concrete ideas you can steal, scale, or adapt.

Why you will want to be in the room:

  • Real-world shortcuts: skip trial-and-error by hearing what worked (and what didn’t) elsewhere.
  • Insider tactics: practical political, financing, and community-engagement moves that unlocked projects.
  • Risk lessons: learn how cities failed fast, recovered, and reframed setbacks into new opportunities.
  • Immediate inspiration: walk away with 2–3 ready-to-trial interventions you can pilot next quarter.

‘Mobility, hydrogen and cross-border cooperation in the Pyrenees’, within the framework of the POCTEFA PHYRENE project

The aim of this session is to present the study by the Occitanie Region Energy and Climate Agency on the decarbonisation of road transport through renewable hydrogen, within the framework of the POCTEFA PHYRENE project, with scenarios for hydrogen stations along the entire border between Spain, France and Andorra.

The PHYRENE project is co-financed by the ERDF Fund, whose partners are the energy agencies of all the neighbouring territories in the Pyrenees, with the aim of reflecting on and creating synergies between the different hydrogen ecosystems on both sides of the Pyrenean border.
