Already tried to restart your city?

From A to B – the simplest and most exciting story in the world. Because we change when we’re on a journey. Because we don’t always end up where we wanted to go. And because that’s a good thing.

Land, water, air

In 2050, more than 70% of the global population will be living in cities, which already account for 70% of today’s CO2 emissions. By 2050, CO2 emissions in the global North must be down to zero. But how can this be achieved? How do we get from A to B?

We’ve been working at the interface of new mobility and urbanity for more than ten years – with research institutions and public authorities, corporations and influential start-ups. On water, on land and perhaps before long, in the air as well.

Megatrends and technical details

Communication about mobility needs both scientific depth and narrative breadth, research and feature articles, R&D and discourse.

Our editorial team has the technological know-how to explain the advantages of a synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets and the socio-economic expertise to categorise the megatrends driving this development.

If you save cities, you save the world

Volkswagen AG’s MOIA ridesharing project aims to launch autonomous shuttle buses in Hamburg in 2026 and thus reduce the number of cars. We helped to develop the brand story and build the social community.

And now?

There’s an incredible amount to do between now and 2050. At Nansen & Piccard, we want to accelerate developments towards a new mobility, establish productive links and provide the information people need to take good decisions – at a personal and political level.
