We are making Munich a pioneer for mobility innovations

MCube is Germany's leading future cluster for sustainable mobility innovations.

In MCube - the „Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions" - funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the

Together with more than 80 partners from science, business, administration and society, we are developing the The future of mobility. Our aim is not only to develop the best innovations, but also to test them, scale them up and make them usable for other regions.

Subject areas

We think mobility innovatively and holistically

Mobility is facing profound changes - technologically, socially and spatially. MCube is shaping this change systemically and in close cooperation with all relevant stakeholders.

In our real-world laboratories, we develop and test concrete solutions for the mobility of tomorrow: 

From autonomous and electrified transportation systems to sharing and on-demand services, sustainable urban logistics and the redesign of public spaces.

What makes us unique is that we view mobility as an overall system - and shape transformation together with administration, industry, start-ups, science and civil society. This results in model solutions for metropolitan regions in Germany and Europe.

Projects

We work in a participatory manner
and in real laboratories

In our project "Effective participation for mobility innovation", we are integrating the topics of participation and communication across the cluster.

The project investigates how various car-sharing models at residential locations can offer an attractive alternative to the little-used private car.

Our project deals with evaluation, process evaluation, upscaling, replication and application of the project processes and project results.

What will the logistics of tomorrow look like? Discover how eTrucks, megawatt charging and autonomous driving are changing freight transport - and discuss with us how to make the leap to scale.

The lessons learned from the first MCube funding phase show which factors really drive projects forward - and where typical barriers arise.

Creating transparency, proving impact, sharpening strategies - the new indicator guide supports precisely this.

Where to put cars, bicycles and e-scooters - and how do we organize parking space fairly, efficiently and sustainably?

What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!

The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.

What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily. 

What is happening in the district?

  • In the year 2025:
    The people in the district can participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers are also starting their work.
  • In the year 2026:
    Some ideas are tried out.
    They are moved around the streets for a certain period of time.
  • In the year 2027:
    The results are evaluated.
    Consideration is given to how things can continue∙.
