We joined ERTICO to further strengthen and multiply ties with European industries and stakeholders. Europe is extremely good in this field, and we have experienced ERTICO in helping ITS and digital innovations make the leap from lab to market. Together, we will be ahead of the curve and able to make a positive contribution to the ongoing mobility transition.

ERTICO is the ideal organisation, full of passionate, hard-working, knowledgeable people. We are working with the team at ERTICO to deliver the 2027 ITS World Congress. Unlike other organisations you may come across, it’s never “this is the way we do it, and that’s it,” – they are always keen to consider new ways of delivering their key messages.

Our collaboration with ERTICO is a valuable asset in navigating the dynamic ITS landscape. Their support ensures we stay well-informed on EU regulations and understand their implications for our sector. By facilitating partnerships and coordinating EU-funded projects, ERTICO strengthens our connections across countries and industries. They provide a vital platform for representing our perspectives in ITS discussions with the EU Commission and within the whole ITS network.
