Delivering new mobility solutions requires a collaborative ecosystem of players and partners, particularly with the emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles.

These players are working on interconnected solutions in broadband, security, energy, IoT, data platforms and centers, cryptocurrency, modeling, equity and access, public-private partnerships, creative financing, software, vehicle design, testing and validation, transit, pedestrian and bicycle safety, parking, sustainability, carbon impacts, and more. The Meeting of the Minds Mobility Summit tackles these topics through a unique one-day summit each summer with 150+ invited global thought leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors, philanthropy, entrepreneurs and academics. The purpose of the Meeting of the Minds Mobility Summit is to identify challenges, emerging solutions directly aimed at those challenges, and potential partnerships that can move the needle for city-regions across the globe. In May 2020, we convene in Stratford Ontario at the invitation of long-time Mayor Dan Mathieson. In 2018, Stratford, Ontario was ranked #2 globally in Intelligent Communities Ranking by The Intelligent Community Forum (in the 50,000 population and under category). Stratford is one of a hundred cities bordering Toronto that is facing the 21st century and tasked with building innovative solutions to create jobs, diversify its economy, and deliver new urban services to its residents.
