Press Release: Future City Tech 2022 takes place on June 23-24 in Říčany. The organizer is the company PowerHub in cooperation with the town of Říčany and with support CzechInvest. The main partners are the companies CITYA, The Umbrella Center and Hyundai. He took over the patronage of the event Minister of Transport Martin Kupka.
The event is intended for experts and the general public, as well as city representatives or heads of transport departments and innovation purchasing departments. Investors in early stage startups, research and education centers in the field of mobility or medium and large industrial players who want to find out about the latest mobility trends and innovations and establish possible cooperation with exhibitors can discover interesting projects here. "I look forward to being able to present the work of important startups to the public, connect key industry players and also reach out to potential investors and customers." he says Toufik Dallal, Head of Acceleration Programs PowerHUB.
The entire event takes place in conjunction with the town of Říčany. Ing. David Michalička, mayor of Říčany, adds to the cooperation: "Ríčany suffers from extreme traffic congestion. Therefore, the city has been expanding the offer of alternative forms of urban and active mobility for its residents for a long time. We have built functional free urban transport, young people ride shared bikes, we build safe shortcuts and pedestrian routes so that the car does not have to be the only option. Autonomous transport is another innovation that should come to our streets. It's still the future, but I believe it's not far away."
A special program will be prepared for each group, but all visitors can look forward to top experts and exhibitors from the Czech Republic and abroad and, above all, the opportunity to see or even try various innovative solutions and technologies. Companies such as Hyundai, CEDA Maps, CITYA or AuveTec.
A conference and workshops related to the introduction of autonomous transport to cities will be prepared for the professional public. You will learn how it is possible to solve parking problems, use shared services and multimodal transport, improve urban logistics and last mile transport. Czech experts will speak at the conference, such as Ondřej Mátl, councilor for transport for the Prague 7 district, or Jan Bizík, Mobility Innovation Hub Manager of CzechInvest. Among the foreign speakers, you can look forward to the presentation of the Estonian company AuveTec, which deals with autonomous transport, or the Israeli company RoadHub, which plans smart city infrastructure.
The public will have the opportunity to view modern transport systems, technologies and solutions, including autonomous vehicles, for free on the exhibition area. In addition, there will be the opportunity to ride an autonomous ebus or have a drink delivered by an autonomous parcel delivery robot.
