About Global Mobility Call (GMC)

The Global Mobility Call was established in 2022 as a strategic event by IFEMA MADRID and Smobhub with the support and sponsorship of the Spanish Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. Its objective is to position Spain as the international hub of sustainable mobility in the context of post-pandemic recovery and to foster business opportunities and investment in this field, particularly considering the NextGenerationEU funds and the European Green Deal, which aim to make Europe the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050. GMC is delighted to announce the third edition of the event, which will take place from 19 to 21 November 2024 at the Recinto Ferial de Madrid. This event will bring together leaders from all sectors involved in sustainable mobility to discuss and develop strategies for the advancement of sustainable mobility policies and business initiatives.
