About the EU-India Urban Mobility Conference 2026
The EU-India Urban Mobility Conference 2026 is a premier bilateral exchange designed to reimagine the future of Indian cityscapes. Scheduled for April 16–17, 2026, in Mumbai, it serves as a high-level Knowledge Bridge — connecting European urban design innovation with the unique scale and dynamism of India’s growing cities.
The summit is backed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), EIT Urban Mobility, the Dutch Consulate in Mumbai, and the Dutch Cycling Embassy (DCE). It brings together world-renowned mobility strategists, global policymakers, urban planners, and administrative leaders in direct alignment with the EU-India Free Trade Agreement and the sustainable urban vision of the Indian government. The explicit goal is to move from diplomatic policy to street-level reality — creating more liveable, breathable, and connected Indian cities. Full details at euindiamobility.com.
