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 
".

The Chairman of IFEMA MADRID, José Vicente de los Mozos, said that the goal of 
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 
and multinationals from the industrial sectors that are active in the 
development of sustainable mobility. Some of the companies present are Bolt, 
Cabify, Europcar Mobility Group, Iberia, Renfe, Adif, Renault Group - Mobilize, 
Etra, Indra, Net4things, Accenture, Deloitte, EY, and McKinsey & Company;

Congress' honorary committee, the Spanish Government, with the participation of 
President Pedro Sánchez and the Ministers of Transport and Mobility, Raquel 
Sánchez, and of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, as well as international 
institutional representatives such as Adina Valean, Commissioner for Transport 
of the European Commission; Young Tae Kim, President of ITF; Eric-Mark Huitema, 
President of ACEA; Patrick Mallejaq, Secretary General of PIARC; and
