In recent years there have been countless advances in connected and cooperative systems for transport and mobility, which are however outlining a paradox: together with the developments underway, challenging and articulated technological needs are emerging, so much so as to make the goal of sustainable, efficient and safe mobility more and more complex to achieve. Indeed, the availability of the technologies necessary for an interoperable implementation of large-scale solutions is only the beginning of a long journey, which cannot ignore economic, market and competitiveness considerations for the involved industries, SMEs and public administrations. The resolution of this paradox is the main objective of the HD-MOTION Hub (HUB for the Digital Mobility Transformation): the ambition to make a great technological leap forward, giving a rapid acceleration to the development of enabling technological solutions, targeting them on innovation and the digitization of sustainable mobility and transport services. SMEs (especially those involved in technology transfer) will be among the end users of the Hub, together with the Public Administration, its services (for example, Public Transport) and citizens. Through the virtuous collaboration of academia, industry and the entire innovation ecosystem, the result of a growth in the competitive capabilities of companies on the Italian territory will be achieved, bridging the technological deficits of innovation and digitization that today penalize them on the European market and world. Through the creation of networks of companies and innovation hubs in the sectors of vehicle production, digital infrastructures and Digital Transportation Systems, basic training and the development of new skills will be implemented, facilitating entry and relocation on the market of the work. At the same time, and in a virtuous circular manner, significant impacts will be generated on the environment and on the users of mobility services.
