Take part in the ‘Talent in mobility’ awards |
| By creating the "Talent in Mobility" awards, the Exhibition organisers are seeking to focus on women and men
who have contributed to the growth of public transport through initiatives and achievements in this field. |
| |
| The contest is highly appropriate for a sector in which greater value is often placed on equipment than on
human capital. The awards will go to individuals from across Europe working in public transport, new mobility services and alternative mode travel
who have distinguished themselves in their company, authority or organisation. The organisers' aim is to publicise the value of such people and win
them recognition from across Europe. The awards concern various career stages. People from all sectors of mobility, all types of organisations and
businesses and any position may take part. The selection criteria relate to the skills, talent and commitment of the nominees. |
