Sustainable Mobility Lab 

The four-country region of Lake Constance has high mobility requirements. Intensive intra-city and inter-city traffic - in often very challenging topography - come together, traffic flows cross national borders, and the many small towns create unattractive mobility markets for providers of existing mobility solutions. Combined with the increased volume of traffic or emissions in passenger and freight transport in the region, the complexity increases and thus requires innovative, systematically cross-border and mostly digitally supported solutions. 
 

Sustainable Mobility Lab implements a virtual as well as physical platform for this purpose, which suitably networks all relevant, regional mobility stakeholders of the Quadruple Helix and supports them in the development of innovative mobility solutions as well as their testing and implementation in practical projects around Lake Constance. In this way, the Lake Constance region is to become an experimental laboratory (in the sense of a living lab) for innovative, sustainable mobility solutions. 

The Lab follows an entrepreneurial agile and iterative approach that uses alternative ways of thinking and working (Design Thinking/Lean Startup/Prototying) for targeted collaborative development with established companies and new startups and permanently integrates all actors transdisciplinary - supported by the platform. This leads to intentional networking (N-to-N relationship) and collaboration of mobility actors, targeted practical projects and a dissemination of the findings from the piloting and, based on this, sustainable, innovative mobility services in the four-country region of Lake Constance - driven by new, regional entrepreneurship. 
 

The newly created structures and services are intended to increase the competitiveness and attractiveness of the region; not only for existing companies and new mobility providers through new economic activities, but furthermore for talent, tourism and residents:inside.
