Mobility, as the transportation of people and goods, is a major and strategic issue for social and economic developments at the local, regional, national and global scales. A sustainable mobility paradigm is starting to take shape, focusing on mobility as a key element for economic and social development, requiring major participative and multi-stakeholder innovation efforts. In this context, transportation hubs, like airports, major train stations, or intermodal stations are increasingly recognized as complex public and private nodes for urban design and development, with an important potential for data exploitation, commercial and cultural experiences. Through this study, we aim at developing an in-depth analysis of how transportation hubs can be leveraged as the core of innovation ecosystems on and around mobility issues. The study will investigate how digital technologies contribute to advancing Canadian competencies in next-generation mobility products and services, be it for the aerospace industry, ground transportation, or urban development.
