DISCO made its presence known at the last Annual POLIS Conference 2024! The project took the stage and was also displayed at the exhibition area, introducing its innovations to multiple, diverse, and relevant stakeholders.
The DISCO project took stage at the 2024 POLIS Conference, held in Karlsruhe on 27-28 November 2024, Germany. As Europe’s flagship event on sustainable urban transport, the conference attracted over 1,000 mobility experts, city representatives, and technology innovators from across the continent.
DISCO partners delivered a dynamic presence, participating in an expert panel and engaging attendees through a vibrant project booth. The focus: demonstrating how cities can leverage data and digital platforms to plan, manage, and evaluate mobility systems that work for everyone.
Paola Cossu, CEO of FIT Consulting and Project coordinator, presented the DISCO project during the session “1F. Unlocking the last mile: Innovations in urban freight”, highlighting the potential of physical internet-led solutions to foster urban logistics and planning through data-driven and dynamic land use”. Domien Stubbe (VIL) presented the use cases being tested in the city of Ghent, Belgium.
DISCO shared the stage with other city representatives from Helsinki, Madrid, Karlsruhe to exchange about first-hand experiences of using DISCO’s tools to address diverse urban mobility needs and foster collaboration with other Horizon Europe projects focusing on urban freight and logistics (DECARBOMILE, UNCHAIN, URBANE) and policy-makers, reinforcing its role as a key player in the digital transformation of urban transport.
DISCO was also part of the exhibition area, with a booth shared with other EU-funded projects of project partner PNO.
