Dialog and new ideas:
the exclusive network of mobility and data experts

Eight inspiring presentations, three powerful panels and a fantastic location at DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum in Berlin – together with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG, we hosted the big MDS Community Event 2025. This year's motto: ‘Vehicle data in motion – pathways to a connected mobility future’

The bottom line of the day: we need to understand the value of data – it is the fuel for our shared future.

The Mobility Data Space is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV).

MDS Events

MDS on tour

At important national and international conferences, congresses and trade fairs, the MDS regularly exchanges ideas and follows current developments in the industry. As an exhibitor, keynote speaker or panellist, representatives of the MDS provide interested trade visitors with insights into the processes of an operating data room.

Through its presence and dialogue at these events, the MDS continuously makes new industry contacts. As a result, the network of the data sharing community continues to grow and offers a valuable platform for customised matchmaking between data providers and data consumers.

‘It’s all about mobility’ was the motto at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich from 9 to 12 September. The Mobility Data Space was present as a co-exhibitor at the Bayern Innovativ joint booth. 

A look back at our highlights: Dieter Reiter, Mayor of Munich, visited our booth and showed great interest in current and upcoming projects within the Mobility Data Space. Furthermore, we were very pleased meeting with our valued partners on site as well as signing a Memorandum of Understanding for a sovereign and trusted data ecosystem in Europe and Korea.

At the Smart Country Convention 2025, the MDS was present as a sub-exhibitor of the Federal Ministry of Transport. Through discussions with municipal stakeholders, we gained many insights into what data the public sector needs and in what form. MDS Managing Director Moritz Stober demonstrated how the Mobility Data Space can support the public sector in his presentation on vehicle data as a basis for public infrastructure planning.

As one of the flagship projects of Gaia-X, their booth provided another opportunity for exchange about the MDS.
