About Global Mobility Call (GMC)
Organised by IFEMA MADRID and Smobhub, with the sponsorship and support of the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Global Mobility Call was born in 2022 as a strategic event to position Spain as the international hub for sustainable mobility, in a decisive context of post-pandemic recovery and in an environment of business development and investment opportunities fostered by the Next Generation EU funds, the biggest stimulus ever seen in Europe, as well as the European Green Deal, the roadmap to make Europe the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050. With a global vision, GMC will bring together in its third edition from 19-21 November 2024 at the Madrid Exhibition Centre leaders from all sectors involved to share their vision for the development of sustainable mobility policies and business initiatives.
