Smart Mobility Summit - The next frontier in autonomous transport and aviation: How do we move from testbeds to autonomy at scale?

The Middle East is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most ambitious laboratories for next-generation mobility. Driven by national transformation agendas such as Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Smart Mobility Strategy, countries across the Gulf are accelerating investments in autonomous vehicles (AVs), advanced air mobility (AAM), AI-powered transport systems, smart infrastructure, and electrified mobility networks. The autonomous future isn’t far off; in fact, it’s happening right here. ​

The region serves as a large-scale testbed for future mobility technologies, shaping global standards for smart cities, autonomous transport, and urban sustainability. Supported by significant investments in high-performance infrastructure, it is creating a strong foundation for innovative smart mobility solutions while attracting international investment and strategic partnerships. At MWC26 Doha, we will explore mobility advancements in the region and beyond.
