A view of gender and diversity in smart transport that connects the TInnGO roadmap, on how this can progress current debates and create a paradigm shift towards greater inclusivity in the transport sector. The measure of success is when current and future transport provision if fully accessible and inclusive.

Scientific evidence was presented and discussed on how inequalities are created and furthermore, the Forum addressed paradigm shifts in education, employment, technological innovations and entrepreneurship as arenas for change and inclusion.
