At ITS America, we are excited to be at the center of the smart cities conversation. We bring together public sector entities, research institutions, corporations, emerging young companies, and startups working to improve mobility, increase connectivity, and build a safer, smarter, more efficient, and sustainable surface transportation network to transform the way we move.
ITS America recognizes that today’s startups will play a significant role in shaping smarter cities and, as such, has created a unique opportunity for emerging companies in high-tech transportation to participate in this year’s World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems, taking place September 7-11, 2014, in Detroit, Michigan. The program is called Transportation for Tomorrow and it will highlight the best and brightest innovators working to create smarter cities through intelligent transportation solutions.
What is Transportation for Tomorrow?
Transportation for Tomorrow is a two part program, consisting of the Entrepreneurial Village and the Investor Matching Event, that will bring together premier financial and strategic investment groups with entrepreneurs that possess cutting-edge ideas in safety, mobility, and sustainability in transportation.
Entrepreneurial Village
For the first time ever our 300,000 sq. ft. exhibit floor in Cobo Center will feature an Entrepreneurial Village where emerging companies & startups will have a dedicated space for promoting their most innovative ideas and technologies that are fueling smarter cities and fundamentally changing the way we move, to more than 10,000 attendees from around the world.
