PlanetM and MEDC are excited to join industry peers at TU-Automotive Detroit for another year of engaging conversation and content, including keynotes, conference tracks, workshops, roundtables, working groups and more – this time through a new virtual platform.
There are a number of Michigan-led panel discussions taking place throughout the three-day virtual event that we encourage you to attend. See below for more programming details.
Panel Discussion: Creating a Long Term Profitable and Sustainable Mobility Business Model
Wednesday, August 19, 3-3:20 p.m. ET
What more must be done to secure MaaS’ place as a replacement to vehicle ownership? The generic shared mobility business model is not profitable. What must change to counteract this? Who bears the burden of ensuring profitability and sustainability? How can micro mobility distance itself from shared mobility? Given the decreased necessary capital for micro mobility, is this key to providing last mile transportation? How can private and public entities collaborate to advance the future of mobility?
Participants:
- Preston Carey, Yandex
- Kai Daniels, GM Ventures
- Komal Doshi, Ann Arbor Spark
- Trevor Pawl, Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (moderator)
Panel Discussion: Smart Cities & the Value of Public-Private Partnerships
Wednesday, August 19, 3:30-3:50 p.m. ET
How can companies and administrative departments collaborate to ensure the advancement of smart cities? Public-private partnerships are key to developing smart city initiatives, but one side is always catching up with the other. What must happen to change this? How can entry into public-private partnerships be eased?
Participants:
- Jim Saber, NextEnergy
- Natalia Quintero, Partnership for New York City
- Aravind Kailas, Volvo Group North America
- Tara Lanigan, May Mobility
- Scott McCormick, Connected Vehicle Trade Association (moderator)
