The 16th ITS European Congress in Seville – Welcome to the Nordic+ pavilion E5!

Welcome to the Nordic+ Pavilion E5!

The Nordic+™ Pavilion has long been the key gathering place for Nordic mobility and transport professionals. This year, we are excited to bring together Nordic+™ ITS organizations alongside Connekt, the leading ITS organization from the Netherlands, for a dynamic collaboration.

Join us at E5 to connect, innovate, and shape the future of intelligent transport!

The ITS European Congress 2025 in Seville will focus on “Clean, resilient and connected mobility”. The theme addresses the urgent need for transport solutions that are sustainable, adaptable and technologically integrated. As cities grow and demand increases, the importance of a cleaner environment, resilience to disruptions and seamless connectivity becomes clearer.
