From 19 to 21 May 2025, the city of Seville, Spain, will welcome over 3,500 leaders and innovators in the field of intelligent transport for the 16th ITS European Congress 2025 — the region’s premier event dedicated to smart, clean, and connected mobility.
Organized by ERTICO – ITS Europe, in partnership with the European Commission, City of Seville, Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, and other key public institutions, the Congress will explore how data-driven innovation, automation, and sustainable infrastructure can shape the future of mobility across Europe and beyond.
The event aligns closely with strategic European frameworks such as the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, making it a vital platform for cities, regions, and businesses seeking to accelerate the green transition in urban transport.
A City as a Living Lab for Urban Mobility
Seville, long recognized for its ambitious sustainability agenda, provides a powerful case study in local innovation. Home to over 180 km of ITS-optimized bike lanes, a citywide shared bicycle system (SEVici), and an expanding network of low-emission zones, Seville has become a pioneer in people-first, climate-smart transport.
Attendees will experience firsthand projects like eCitySevilla, a model district powered by smart energy systems, electric mobility, and ITS-enabled urban cooling technologies such as the Qanat Cartuja Project. The city’s real-time mobility data platform and MathIT.MOTUS app for traffic optimization further illustrate how digital tools can enhance quality of life and urban efficiency.
