Spain is committed to leading the global race for sustainable mobility by
convening all economic sectors and institutions driving the transformation of
mobility. This is the goal of Global Mobility Call, the world congress on
sustainable mobility organised by IFEMA MADRID and Smobhub, and sponsored by
the Spanish Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, that takes place
in Madrid until 16 June.
The Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez, said that
Global Mobility Call "is set to become the first reference point for the
mobility of the future", at a time when it is essential "to share ideas and
experiences in pursuit of a sustainable mobility that will allow us to face the
colossal challenge posed by climate change and that requires everyone's efforts
".

Global Mobility Call is "set to be the world landmark event in sustainable
mobility" and "the top business platform for projects that will transform
sustainable mobility" driving join initiatives among all sectors, institutions,
regulators, companies, SMEs and entrepreneurs.
Juan José Lillo, co-founder of Smobhub, recalled that "new social habits and
digitalisation have quadrupled the movement of people and goods globally",
accelerating the transformation of transport, a sector that is in the spotlight
due to the need to achieve the national decarbonization targets under the Paris
climate Agreement. "At Global Mobility Call, we have created an agenda that
emphasises the word Call in its name, which is a call to action", he said.
The meeting, held at a key moment of post-pandemic recovery and in the midst of
an energy crisis, will drive the sustainable mobility debate as the great lever
for change in the new economy, bringing together large companies, corporations
