As we build momentum toward the 2026 ITS European Congress in Istanbul, where the event will be hosted in the city for the very first time, this issue marks the beginning of our enhanced Congress coverage as Official Media Partner. With the Congress set to be one of the most significant gatherings of the global ITS community in recent years, we take a closer look at the four principal themes shaping the programme and the wider mobility conversation across Europe: Safety and Resilience, Multimodal Mobility, Smart and Sustainable Logistics, and Enhancing Mobility Beyond the Road. These themes will define the dialogue in Istanbul, reflecting the sector’s ambition to deliver integrated, safe and seamless mobility at scale.
We also turn our attention to one of the most pressing challenges facing the ITS ecosystem: attracting and retaining the next generation of professionals. At a time when the Congress is highlighting unprecedented innovation, investment and opportunity across the mobility landscape, our article Shoot for the Moon! explores how the sector can inspire new entrants and support them in building meaningful, future-shaping careers.
