WHAT IS IN MOTION?

IN MOTION – Idea Lab for Sustainability and Mobility is a project by Automotive Excellence Südtirol, co-funded by the European Union (EFRE|FESR), created by people with a passion for technology and a future worth living.

South Tyrol is the place where trends and technologies of the future are taking shape. Did you know that every third car in Europe uses technology from South Tyrol?

We want YOU to discover for yourself that only getting in motion can create solutions for our future.

IN MOTION - Lab and Tech Festival

We want you to experience how and where the magic happens:

When know-how, creativity, innovation and technological possibilities meet in idea generation contests and find a platform where you can look, touch and learn in a one day festival:
