MaaS Scotland is delighted to be attending the JPI Urban Europe Pilot Group on MaaS in Finland

The JPI Urban Europe Pilot Group on MaaS will be running alongside the 2017 MaaS Summit in Finland

Competition in the world’s cities is becoming fiercer and fiercer, whether it is in commerce, industry, tourism, labour or investment. Therefore, our cities need to be transformed into more sustainable, resilient, and liveable places if they are to compete effectively on a world stage. This transformation isn’t easily achieved; it requires urgent transnational attention in the fields of urban innovation and technological development. JPI Urban Europe responds to this urgency by committing itself to ambitious intra- and interdisciplinary research on a transnational scale. We function as both a gateway and a hub for urban research, facilitating research on a scale which simply could not be carried out by any one nation alone.
