What you need to know about HERE and the ITS World Congress

The World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is nearly here! For five days in late October, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers and technologists from around the globe will come together to share and discuss cutting edge developments in all things intelligent transportation.

HERE is a proud sponsor of the ITS World Congress, to be held in Montreal beginning on October 30th. The yearly expo is a hub for presenting innovative concepts, technical prototypes and thought-provoking presentations. Exhibitors and attendees alike will have their collective eyes on shaping the future of transportation.
