The world of urban mobility came together from 110 countries to make Barcelona the public transport capital of the world across four days of activity (4-7 June 2023). With a world-renowned exhibition, sector-leading congress, technical visits, study tours, e-Poster sessions, press tours, power sessions, networking and social events, we hosted 10 days of activities!
Organising the first UITP Global Summit since the 2019 edition in Stockholm, UITP and our three local partners, FGC, TMB and Renfe, brought public transport together under the 2023 theme ‘Bright Light of the City’. The 64th edition of the UITP Summit was the world’s gathering place for showcasing the latest innovations, the newest technologies, good practice cases, and forward-thinking projects.
Alongside these, we ran several other trainings and gatherings in different part of the world, both online and in person.

In addition to hosting our milestone event of the year, the Global Public Transport Summit in Barcelona in June, we also organised four successful regional conferences in 2023. We brought together key stakeholders, experts and journalists at conferences and exhibitions in Egypt, Hong Kong, Mexico and USA.
