Reflections by the main sponsor Sofico on the theme Future of Mobility - On the Road to Cartopia 
The future of mobility can not be defined in one word. However, while no-one can predict the future, it’s safe to say the future of mobility is versatile: from using different means of transportation in a single trip or to travel the same road, to becoming more sustainable. While this evolution is reshaping the outlook of mobility, it also offers the opportunity to make mobility more fun. To make it an experience to enjoy. As the world’s leading supplier of mission-critical software solutions for automotive finance, leasing, fleet, and mobility management companies, Sofico is dedicated to paving the way and to facilitate its customers into making this transition.
