Sign up for The Podcar
City Youth Conference for Future Mobility 2026
Youth is the Future Mobility. Let them design it.
The Podcar City Youth Conference represents a pivotal moment in our global pursuit of sustainable mass transit. As we gather at the Panasonic Campus, our focus is clear: to challenge the existing paradigm of private car dependency and develop innovative mobility solutions that prioritize the efficient use of earth resources and renewable energy.
A central pillar of this event is the empowerment of the next generation. Through the Students for Future Mobility (SFFM) program, we are connecting bright young minds from universities worldwide with industry mentors and policy makers to address real-world transportation challenges. By providing students with professional simulation tools and expert guidance, we aim to transform their creative visions into actionable, high-value intellectual property that can shape the resilient cities of tomorrow. Together, we are building a skilled, globally connected workforce dedicated to delivering “Mobility for All”

What Podcar City and Students For Future Mobility is all about
what we do and why we do it
The current paradigm of mass mobility presents significant challenges. Incremental technological improvements notwithstanding, existing transportation solutions place considerable strain on both human populations and environmental resources. There is currently no road-based individual or shared mobility system that completely avoids congestion or eliminates complexities in urban planning.
The Podcar City initiative is founded on a straightforward premise: evaluating whether we can achieve more effective solutions using current technologies. By reimagining mass mobility from the ground up, the project seeks to develop systems that are inclusive, accessible, safe, efficient, comfortable, and scalable.
Podcar City facilitates the exchange of ideas and research through endeavors such as SFFM, as well as seminars and conferences covering topics including urban planning, vehicle design, safety considerations, and resource management. Participation is open to all, regardless of background or level of involvement—whether individuals wish to actively contribute, observe, disseminate findings, provide financial support, or offer specialized expertise. All contributions are assessed for their potential impact and suitability for intellectual property protection.
We do this for the future generations as it is the young who own the future.
