The Future of Public Transport: From Electrification to Decarbonization

​Public transportation is one of the most impactful levers for reducing urban emissions, yet in Israel and worldwide it remains underutilized, under-optimized, and far behind electrification and decarbonization targets.

​Electrifying public transport presents a wide range of challenges: regulatory, operational, infrastructural, financial, and technological,creating significant gaps between national ambitions and on-the-ground execution.

​At this event, we will dive into these challenges from multiple perspectives:
technology, operations, business models, infrastructure, regulation, innovation, and ecosystem collaboration.

​
Together, we’ll explore what’s happening today in global public transport operations, where the barriers truly lie, and what opportunities exist for startups and industry players to accelerate impact.
