TRACER-X Challenge Definition Workshop
As part of the event, a dedicated interactive TRACER-X Challenge Definition Workshop will focus on first- and last-mile transport and mobility solutions. In Spring 2027, TRACER-X will launch an open call for agile pilots targeting innovative emission-reduction solutions. This workshop serves as the official challenge definition session for the Helsinki pilots, bringing together city representatives, logistics experts, and solution providers to identify key urban challenges and establish priority themes for the upcoming call.
