Gecko Kick-Off Meeting© Yannick Bousse, UITP
The rapid proliferation of new technologies and disruptive innovations are threatening well established players across many sectors. Regulators and decision-makers acknowledge that existing frameworks may be inadequate in terms of protecting society, fostering business development and achieving integrated, sustainable mobility. GECKO will support authorities with tools and recommendations for new regulatory frameworks to lead the transition to the new mobility era of cooperative, inclusive, competitive, sustainable and interconnected mobility across all modes.
