ITS World Congress 2027: Birmingham

The United Kingdom is one of the world's leading centres for intelligent transport, where government, industry and academia develop, test and deploy new mobility at scale. From connected and automated vehicles to digital infrastructure and cleaner public transport, delegates see real-world deployment, not just hear about it.

Four topics, one agenda
Hundreds of sessions, organised around four main topics that cut across the whole programme.

The Deployment Stage Returns
The ITS Arena is where deployment stories are told: cities, operators and industry on stage with the systems they actually run. The Arena returns to Birmingham at the heart of the exhibition floor.

Interested in what is happening internationally with ITS, C-ITS, Automation and more? Join ITS Australia and a senior delegation to experience on the ground activities in and around London, Milton Keynes and Birmingham with our government and industry partners.

ITS Australia is proud to support a collaborative approach between our government transport agencies, our regulators as well as our research partners and industry. Bringing a high-level group together to explore the success of deployments and learnings in Japan will help us move forward with ambitious plans for Australia.

An ITS Australia delegation of senior leaders from government, industry and academia will travel to UK from 21–23 October for a focused study tour on next‑generation intelligent transport systems.
