Hosted by UITP and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Dubai, the Summit is set to bring together global public transport leaders, policymakers, and innovators to tackle the future of urban mobility.
This edition is particularly historic: Dubai will host the UITP Summit for the first time in 15 years, and it will be the first Summit outside Europe under the new annual format.
2026 will also be the 140th anniversary of the UITP Summit in its various formas across the years.
Over the course of three days, participants will engage in an international programme including congress sessions, a global exhibition, technical visits, networking events, all focused under our six Summit tracks: Shared Mobility, The Human Factor, Innovation in Bus Systems, The Future of Rail, Funding and Financing, and Smart Technologies and Data.
Dubai is a city leading the way on the future of mobility, with a thriving economy, innovative infrastructure, and world-class public transport, it is a true hub for mobility advancements.
Significant investments in public transport projects show that the MENA region is witnessing a clear paradigm shift towards more public transport…and UITP is delighted to see what the world of urban mobility will discover when arriving for the 2026 UITP Summit.
