Become one of the five ‘Talent in Mobility’ awards in 2024!
The European ‘talent’ in mobility awards honour women and men working to nurture public transport and sustainable mobility across Europe. The awards are an extremely effective way of highlighting European actors who, at various stages of their career, deserve recognition from the profession as a whole.
You almost certainly have some Talents to suggest to us from among those working with your enterprise, startup, local authority, institution or association!
