The European Union is closely looking at its industry competitiveness as a key policy focus. For the mobility sector, this is particularly true in the context of the digital and green transitions. The “Competitiveness Compass” and the “Clean Industrial Deal” are key initiatives aimed at bolstering the EU’s industrial strength, addressing challenges like high energy costs, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the need for innovation. The aim of this session is to bring together leading figures from Europe’s transport industry to discuss the enabling conditions needed to support the sector’s transition – and that of its value chain – toward cleaner and smarter mobility.
The Industrial Round Table will examine how the European industry can establish a direction for progress leading up to 2030 and onward to 2050. The discussion should mainly focus on 3 questions: What is the status of Europe’s global leadership in the transport and mobility sector? How can research and innovation enhance the competitiveness of the sector? What are industry representatives’ expectations vis-à-vis the EU’s research and innovation activities for the sector in view of the next EU Framework Programme for R&I?
Speakers:
Carole Desnost, Director of Technologies, Innovation and Group Projets, SNCF
Dr. Gunnar Stiesch, Chief Technology Officer, Everllence
Jens Holtinger, Executive Vice President, Volvo Group’s Trucks Technology & Industrial Division
The session will explore the governance in transport R&I and the instruments that can boost the EU’s innovation capacities. It will look at the full innovation journey from fundamental research to market deployment and scale-up, analysing best practices of current instruments such as Horizon Europe and the Innovation Fund. It will discuss upcoming instruments in the next MFF with FP10 and the Competitiveness fund. It will also examine the current challenges faced by the EU alongside its innovation chains.
This session aims to find answers to the following questions: how can we address current challenges linked to transport R&I in the EU in both the short and long term? Which governance models are best to deliver on future of transport R&I? How can we tackle the gap between the fundamental research and deployment?

Special sessions
The Physical Internet (PI) offers a transformative vision for global logistics by enabling the seamless, efficient and sustainable use of transport, warehousing and supply chain resources through standardized and modular systems. This session addresses global, European and country-led Physical Internet research and innovation programmes, including a strong focus on multimodality and last-mile logistics. Building on experiences from Europe and other international initiatives, the session shows how PI is advancing from concept to implementation to address capacity constraints, enhance competitiveness and improve logistics efficiency. A central objective is to strengthen cooperation by aligning research, innovation and business models among different stakeholders. The session explores how coordinated collaboration is essential to scale PI from pilot projects to a resilient global logistics network, and why Europe must act decisively to remain a leading force.
Electric Vehicles have gained important market shares over the last decade in the EU. However, the European automotive industry is facing a fierce competition from contenders from around the world. Further research and innovation to deliver efficient and affordable vehicles, from L-category up to Heavy-Duty, is needed to consolidate the good steps already taken by various EU funded projects, from the European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI) and the 2Zero Partnership. Delivering the next generation of EVs, including their batteries and other critical components, also including software, is essential for Europe to remain competitive. These developments should also support the establishment of new value chains, to maintain value added in Europe and facilitate the implementation of circular economy principles in the automotive industry. The session will present the outcome of key EU funded projects in the field and discuss with the audience which are the next Research and Innovation priorities.
