From Pilot to Scale: Deploying Integrated Mobility Systems

How does a mega-city move beyond the "pilot phase" to create a truly integrated, functional mobility ecosystem? While many cities successfully launch small-scale trials, the leap to city-wide deployment remains one of the greatest hurdles in smart mobility today.

Join us on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, at 11:00 CEST, for the third instalment of our webinar series as we dive deep into the execution realities of Istanbul, one of the world’s most complex and dynamic urban environments.

Building on our previous discussions regarding strategy, this session shifts the focus from theory to execution. Hosted by Scott Shepard (CitiesFirst), the webinar brings together leadership from Istanbul and ERTICO to discuss the multi-level governance and technical integration required to make "mobility as a system" a reality.

• Pelin Alpkökin, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, on City leadership and mega-city scaling.
• Barbaros Büyüksağnak, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, on International partnerships and governance.
• Erdem Samut, Technology & Systems Expert on Smart mobility delivery and technical specificity.
• Joost Vantomme, CEO at ERTICO - ITS Europe, on European technical systems and replication.

This webinar serves as a critical stepping stone toward the 17th ITS European Congress in Istanbul. As we explore the technical themes of deployment at scale and real-world data implementation, this session will offer a preview of the high-level discussions and peer-learning opportunities awaiting attendees at the Congress.
