About the Conference
A Vision for Integrated, Human-Scale Cities
More Than an Event — A Collaborative Laboratory
The EU-India Urban Mobility Conference 2026 is more than a event; it is a collaborative laboratory for the future of urban life. As Mumbai undergoes a massive infrastructural shift with its expanding Metro and Rail networks, the need for a cohesive, “last-mile” connectivity strategy has never been more urgent.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between high-level diplomatic policy and the lived experience of millions of commuters. By aligning the EU-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) goals with the Fit India Movement, we are creating a roadmap for a more breathable, walkable, and cycle-friendly Mumbai.
The Knowledge Bridge
Dutch Blueprints for Indian Cities
The Netherlands is globally recognized as the “Frontrunner” in active mobility. This summit serves as a technical conduit, bringing Dutch blueprints for sustainable transit to the Indian context.
We focus on the “Stitch”—the critical point where a commuter transitions from a mass transit station to their final destination. By integrating public transport with active mobility, we reduce private vehicle dependency, lower urban carbon footprints, and reclaim street space for people.
