The Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) is amongst a group of global experts to take part in a conference in Dublin next month on the future of transport and mobility in Europe (TRA2024). The organisation is working on developing a new space for smarter, safer, more sustainable transport for people and goods.
