CITIES FORUM was in charge of organising one of the most relavant and successful events about smart mobility in Mexico during the last years.

The city of Aguascalientes hosted the Smart Mobility Cities Summit Aguascalientes 2019, that was another edition of the series of smart mobility events promoted by ADIGITAL (The Spanish Association for the Digital Economy) and CITIES FORUM. This series already had two editions held in Madrid and Valencia during 2019 and it took the international leap in its first stop in Latin America.

The event had the support and institutional coordination of the Regional government of Aguascalientes ( SEDEC), through the Institute for the Development of the Knowledge Society (IDSCEA), and the General Mobility Coordination of Aguscalientes.

The Smart Mobility Cities Summit Aguascalientes 2019 was a meeting point for major players in the new urban mobility ecosystem, both from the public and private sectors, and served to generate a fruitful dialogue between city decision makers, urban mobility experts, associations and leading companies in the smart mobility industry.
