The Annual Summit of the International Transport Forum is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the premier global transport policy event.

Every May, ministers with responsibility for transport, business leaders, heads of international organisations, parliamentarians and policy makers, representatives of business associations and leading researchers meet for three days in Leipzig, Germany, to discuss the future of transport through the prism of a strategic topic.

The logic behind Transport and Climate Change Week is very simple: we bring together experts and decision-makers from all around the world to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking through peer-to-peer exchanges and specialised workshops. Not only do we build capacity, but we also build meaningful relationships that are the foundation of development cooperation. In this way, we seek to build confidence in the feasibility of changing transport towards net zero emissions.

Towards resilient and inclusive mobility in our cities

This year’s conference will bring together insights from TUMI partners and Germany’s bilateral development cooperation, offering a dynamic platform to explore how cities can develop resilient and adaptive mobility systems in response to environmental, social, and economic challenges.

The Annual POLIS Conference 2025 will take place on 26-27 November in the City of Utrecht, Utrecht Province, The Netherlands.
