Ever been to MOVE? If you haven’t, it’s quite an eye opener. Autonomous vehicles crawling round the expo floor as investors thrash it out with tech bros to find the next biggest thing. On stage, energy and payments giants implore the audience to step into the future with them. And, as you reach for a business card, another e-scooter whizzes past. Seems an eclectic mix, right? Well, that seems to be the point of MOVE, an event designed to connect the dots on all things mobility.
The brochure of the event and coverage leading up to it detailed what to expect; a vibrant gathering of thousands of attendees, speakers and start-ups from across the mobility spectrum. And that’s what you get!
As soon as you walk through the doors of the event, you’re met with a red lit and wooden floored stand from AON, with an attendee trying out their race driver simulation that is whirring away with excitement. To the right is a huge Level 4 autonomous shuttle bus from ZF in all its glory, boasting a sleek shiny-grey exterior and absolutely no driver seat – which felt a bit weird at first.
Walking down through the conference, every stand exhibited its own respective aesthetic met with an impressive array of the latest mobility products. The floor was saturated with EV charging stations, electric mini car racetracks, test tracks, screen displays and so much more. A HGV, micro-car, electric motorcycle, e-scooter and e-bike are among the many real vehicle displays that were dotted all around the event.
MOVE boasts itself as the premier mobility event to meet all of the industry’s best experts. In light of this, there were some pretty impressive names that stood out in the crowd of booths: WAE, Mastercard, Hogan Lovells, AON and Dassault Systémes.

With an impressive 17 stages, the event claimed to host a total of 700 talks, all presented by industry experts who respectively delved into their own unique mobility-related discussions on trending topics like smart cities, battery tech, electric vehicles, fleet management and even mining. The engaging talks and panel discussions allowed speakers to share their insights and expertise on concerns, issues, excitements and anticipations for the mobility world. Angela Strand gave some insightful opinions on the state of the world’s clean energy transition, as well as providing a fascinating conversation on the Inflation Reduction Act.
Other inspiring talks made me question my pre-determined perceptions of urban mobility, including Dott’s discussion on the 15-minute city concept, Rod King’s 20s Plenty Campaign and Ryd’s conversation with Mastercard about the acceleration of frictionless payments in urban mobility.
But it was not all just a parade of mobility companies talking about their products and success, there was a poignant message that rose above all the brightly lit branding and buzzing ambience. The event stayed true to its word on keeping the issue of sustainability key to the heart of the event. There was not a single attendee that I encountered who didn’t demonstrate their love and appreciation for using mobility to keep the planet green. The event provided an invaluable platform for attendees to grasp and elaborate on the evolution of the mobility ecosystem. MOVE provided a space for learning as well as teaching, and helped its attendees to acknowledge all of the collective efforts of the industry in combatting the climate emergency.
Another touching moment occurred on Day Two of the event, when Nicoletta Gennaro, Group Head of Marketing at Ascendal Group, was awarded the Women in Mobility Award 2023. Her heartfelt acceptance speech emphasised her love for the positive impact of her work in the mobility industry. Gennaro secured victory with a narrow 25-vote margin over the runner-up, highlighting her significant contributions and inspiring influence. The award ceremony was a powerful tribute to the hard-working women in mobility and their major contributions to the industry’s acceleration.
In the later hours of Day Two at MOVE, Cormac Cronin Martin, the Project Director of the event, expressed the exhilaration that he experienced from the two-day conference, stating: “MOVE 2023 was the best MOVE yet – more attendees, speakers, start-ups and exhibitors than ever before. And the feedback we’re getting is that this is a unique and valuable community that’s only going to grow.”
MOVE sponsors and speakers were also interviewed at the interview booth, offering additional insights and perspectives on the event’s innovations and advancements. I spoke to John Wall, who kindly explained to me how exactly BlackBerry QNX fit into the space of mobility. Using the analogy of a plumber, he elaborated that their software helps to provide the foundation for software-defined vehicles, which automakers can then build the car on top of. As someone who is not quite yet an expert in mobility terminology, I valued his passionate yet patient nature in explaining his product.
Every interviewee willingly highlighted their MOVE pledges for the upcoming year and gave a personal or company-governed pledge towards creating increased sustainability in the mobility industry through their products, services and daily lifestyle choices. But only time will tell if they can live up to their promises.
In conclusion, MOVE 2023 proved to be an unparalleled platform for the mobility industry to converge, collaborate and innovate. With its focus on sustainability and specialised platform for businesses to showcase their products, the event served as a catalyst for driving positive change in the world of mobility. As the event continues to grow and evolve, it promises to remain at the forefront of shaping the future of transportation and mobility worldwide.
As the world continues to grapple with environmental challenges and the need for more efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions, my expectations for MOVE 2024 remain high, as the future event will likely play a big role in showcasing cutting-edge technologies and strategies that address these pressing issues.
MOVE will return in 2024, from 19 June 2024 to 20 June 2024 at ExCel London. To find out more, click here.

Networking
MOVE puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with C-, VP- and Director-level delegates from across the mobility ecosystem.
Whether fleet, government, automotive manufacturers, transport operators, tech or any of our twenty seven product categories, MOVE is where you can make the connection that counts.
The quest for victory is not solely about raw speed; it also requires strategic decision-making. Drivers must tactically choose their moments to push the limits, whether it’s braking later into a corner, carrying more speed through a bend, or flawlessly executing overtaking manoeuvres. Balancing the risk-reward ratio becomes a pivotal element, as a single misjudgement can send a competitor spiralling down the leaderboard.

Interactive roundtables
On the topics that are turning you on. Did you miss our preview earlier this week?
MOVE recently spoke with Neil Kennett, Editor of Cars of The Future, about the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) and his long-held passion for the subject.
Kennett is moderating the panel ‘Embracing the SDV: Welcome to Life in the Software Defined Lane’ at MOVE 2023 next week, and we wanted to give you a little insight to the topic and to the moderator himself.
Here’s an exclusive sneak-peak of what you can look forward to hearing at the panel…
Firstly, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
“I’ve been a motoring journalist for over 20 years now. And I got into it via a job at the retail motor industry Federation press office. I’d always wanted to go freelance, and it just so happened that when I went freelance all my contacts were in motoring.
Over the years, I got more and more interested in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAs). From there, a short hop to self-driving, and I became more and more fascinated by the subject.
I set up Cars of The Future in 2019, to talk about connected and automated mobility in the UK. So much of the connected and autonomous vehicle content comes from America and we’ve got a lot of different challenges in this country – a mediaeval road network for starters – so I wanted UK-related motoring news to be the website’s focus. I’ve been working on cars of the future ever since.”
At MOVE 2023 you are moderating the panel ‘Embracing the SDV: Welcome to Life in the Software Defined Lane’. Can you tell us a bit about the topic and why the Software Defined Vehicle is so important to the future of mobility?
“The SDV is really important, I think it’s a real shift. In the old days, cars were largely defined by the way they looked and the top speed – now the world has moved on. The term basically covers elements such as: on-board and in-cloud computer processing, seamlessly switching from the music on your phone to the car on the same platform, live vehicle-to-infrastructure communications for optimum route planning, and individual vehicle-to-vehicle communications.
My favourite bit about the SDV is the safety improvements; automated braking, automated lane keeping for crash avoidance, and eventually in the near future we will have self-driving.
My MOVE pledge last year was:
“As editor of Cars of the Future, I’m fully on board with MOVE’s drive for safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility. My small part in this is to chart the development of an encouraged debate about all aspects of self-driving. I still love cars but I firmly believe that self-driving will be utterly transformative. If sensibly adopted, it will dramatically improve safety and combined with zero emissions mobility as a service and active travel to completely transform UK road transport by 2050.”
I think, in light of my talk at the event, all of that still stands. In fact, I might just use it again.”
What discussions do you hope to be having at the panel and what is it about embracing the SDV that you really want to discuss?
“There are subjects that we could easily talk about for an hour, but we have only got 25 minutes. The three fantastic panellists I’ll be chatting with are: Patrick Blume from Mercedes-Benz, John Wall from BlackBerry QNX, and Marcus Welz from Hyundai.
Some of the topics I want to talk about with them are cybersecurity, in-car personalisation, Smart City connectivity, multi-modal transport, and we might even get into self-driving if we have time at the end – I’m not sure I can resist.”
Why do you think some companies are a little hesitant to embrace the SDV?
“I think almost all of the people who are at MOVE will be open to the idea of software defined underpins. Some of the resistance to the SDV may come from a less well-informed, general public and then some of the people from the traditional motor industry. I think some doubt the functionality of the SDV, but if you learn about it, it’s an absolute game-changer.
If you if you take the fact that it is going to be safer, and then you start thinking about the amount of time that it frees up and how it crosses over with other megatrends. It’s all the different forms of transport that can be presented in a much more coherent way using software-defined architecture that is so much broader than pure automotive, it cuts in so much wider mobility.”

At MOVE, we believe that actions speak louder than words. With a mandate to change the world and encourage urban mobility to embrace a sustainable ethos, we invented the MOVE pledge.
Last year at our MOVE 2022 event, we asked our speakers to make a concrete pledge towards safer, smarter and more sustainable mobility for 2023.
With only 11 days to go until MOVE 2023, we want to reflect on what MOVE pledges our speakers promised last year. So, let’s take a look at them…
Pledges Made By Our MOVE 2022 Speakers
Patrick Ayad, Partner at Hogan Lovells, said:
“Our MOVE pledge is to focus more on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in the mobility world. From a personal perspective, I’m on the board of an organisation in Germany, which is supporting refugees coming to Germany and that is something that makes me feel very good, and something I want to focus on next year.”
Agustin Guilisasti, founder & CEO of HumanForest, said:
“Nowadays we are the most affordable solution, but we want to go one step further, and offer free mobility for everyone, forever and in a sustainable way.”
Ian Plummer, Commercial Director at Autotrader, said:
“Our pledge is to accelerate the road to 2030. We believe whether its cars, bikes, vans, micro-mobility, we’ve got a great role to play in promoting those products. We want to be driving awareness, making it simpler, standardising, and fundamentally making it easier to buy and to own an electric vehicle. We are fully behind that race.”
Benjamin Pfeifer, CCO at ioki, said:
“My pledge is customer centric planning. We really think our full industry in public transport from the customer and transform it into new projects on the road.”
Mark Thomas, EVP Marketing & Alliances at Ridecell, said:
“Our MOVE pledge is that we will be working to double or triple the number of customers that are taking advantage of automation so that they will have a more efficient, reliable, and more environmentally friendly fleet.”
Francois Bausch, Deputy Prime Minister of Luxembourg, said:
“I really try to live this multi-model behaviour. I have done it for a very long time, for example to go to the ministry I ride the bike, sometimes also the light rail. So I really want to try and combine these in the which will be possible for all of our investments in the coming year.”
Ruairidh Roberts, Country Manager of UK at Waze, said:
“We are striving for safer, more sustainable roads. One thing we think that sets Waze apart from competition is a more enjoyable drive with our audio pair program and some of the quirky things that Waze has on the platform.”
Christopher Borroni-Bird, Founder of Afree Car, said:
“My pledge this year, is to develop a prototype that I’m working on, test it out on farms in America and take the feedback from that usage by farmers and improve it with the view that by this time next year, I can send it to an African village. I have contacts with this village based on my previous volunteer work. I need to do a lot of testing here first as I want it to efficiently meet their needs. That’s my pledge. To have something ready to send to Africa by this time next year.”
Teague Egan, CEO at Energy X, said:
“A lot of the mines that battery materials come from are in really remote places around the world, that have indigenous cultures and the people there aren’t very affluent or wealthy. So we pledge to give $100,000 dollars to improve the education systems and healthcare infrastructure in remote parts of Bolivia. Over the next 6 months, we will be deploying that capital into these communities in Southern Bolivia in Uyuni and Potosi which is the area where the largest lithium reserves are.”
And from our very own…Cormac Martin, Project Director at MOVE, said:
“Our MOVE pledge for 2022 is to donate 5% of all of our delegate revenue to Asthma + Lung UK, which is a great charity that believes that everyone has a right to breathe freely, regardless of background. Their aim is to reduce death and ill health from lung disease by 20% by 2027.”
It’s time to start thinking about what YOUR pledge is going to be for the coming year. At the end of every panel, we have asked our moderators and hosts to ask their fellow speakers what their MOVE pledge is going to be for 2024.
So, get ready and start getting excited to hear if these companies have achieved their pledges and what new ones they will be making. We’ll see you there!
People often ask us, “what makes MOVE different to all the other events out there?”
The answer? It’s simple. Nowhere else connects the dots of mobility like MOVE does, and represents every aspect of this labyrinthine ecosystem the way we do.
Last week, we brought you battery manufacturing behemoths StoreDot, micromobility moguls Dott, electric truck revolutionaries Volta, car dealer doyens Incecape and so many more. See all 600 speakers here.

“MOVE is the CES of mobility events.”
“MOVE is an opportunity to see the art of the possible across different mobility industry sectors in a way that smaller and specialist shows cannot be.”
“MOVE is the mecca for all things mobility in Europe. A huge number of excellent startups, engaged corporates, quality investors – MOVE is the place to be if you’re passionate about the movement of people and goods.”
“Opportunities in life to really make a positive impact are rare and being part of the MOVE community has presented us with a great opportunity to share our expertise with a like-minded audience.”
“We’ll be exhibiting, amongst many other innovative tech businesses in the e-mobility space. And if it’s anything like last year, it will be a hive of activity, with lots of new partnerships and collaborations in the making.”
Here are three reasons our delegates keep coming back to MOVE:
