Mobility in compact cities

The Middle East and Asia are good examples of fast scaling metropolitan populations that need special attention to the mobility issue to move around the inhabitants every day.

Digital transformation and communication
The future of tomorrow is digital and rests highly on technology providing new ways to interact, connect and communicate across all platforms.
Blockchain technology will increase the level of security in digital transactions and as such more sensitive transactions can be handled digitally.
