 The Berkeley Haas Mobility Summit, presented by the Transportation and Mobility Club at the UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business,  is UC Berkeley’s conference dedicated to bringing together current and future mobility leaders and will feature industry leaders, UC Berkeley faculty, as well as students from a range of disciplines, such as engineering, urban design, law, and business.

This year’s summit will center on the theme of “cutting through the hype” of today’s private and venture-backed mobility industry, including panels on the future of ridehailing, vehicle electrification, autonomous vehicles, and urban air mobility.  The 2021 summit theme recognizes the need for more dialogue around how mobility companies must navigate issues of sustainability and equity, in addition to the challenges of adoption and commercialization of these technologies.
