MENA Public Transport Authorities Conference 2025
About
Who Will Attend?
The MENA Public Transport Authorities Conference will bring together decision-makers, thought leaders and pioneers of the sector, to examine the evolving role of authorities in shaping the region’s mobility future and public transport.
The conference will explore key themes such as leadership in reform, evolving business models, and regional cooperation, as cities across MENA work towards integrated, efficient, and sustainable transport systems.
Institutional leadership can unlock innovation; not just through technology, but through bold policy, better regulation, and more resilient infrastructure planning. The conference agenda will also expand on building financial sustainability within public transport, and the role of authorities in fostering new investment, adapting fare strategies, and aligning stakeholders.
As technology, big data and advancing digital tools become central to efficient, and more carbon-free operations, the sessions will also consider how authorities can move from data collection to decision-making – turning insights into real-world improvements.
With the UITP Summit returning to the region in 2026, this gathering is a strategic stepping stone to share cutting-edge ideas, and to align regional priorities – grounding them in governance, guiding them by data, and designing them for people.
