YOUNG MOBILITY NETWORK

The network for mobility-savvy young professionals

Established in 2020, we are a dynamic and open network created for young professionals who share a passion for mobility. Our mission is to foster connections, facilitate knowledge exchange, and support personal growth among members.

OUR OFFERING

  • At the Young Mobility Network, our regional activities are all about connection and discovery - through casual meetups, field trips, and mobility adventures. From exploring BVG Jelbi stations in Berlin and VGF in Frankfurt to harbor cruises with HADAG in Hamburg and biking excursions, we dive into innovation together. We're currently active in six German regions - Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Rhineland, and Stuttgart - plus London, with more regions to come. Your city’s not on the list yet? Maybe it’s time to help us kick-start something new!

    Check out our regional pages to see what’s happening near you and get in touch with your local contact.

  • Our monthly digital Lunch Roulette is all about spontaneous, meaningful connections! Here's how it works:

    Every month, you'll receive an invite through our newsletter - just sign up, and we’ll match you with 1–2 other mobility enthusiasts from the network. Once you're connected, it’s up to you to arrange a casual virtual lunch or coffee chat whenever it fits your schedule.

    It’s low effort, high impact - and a great way to expand your network, get inspired, and share ideas across regions and roles.

    So… what are you waiting for? Sign up and let the conversations roll!

  • In March 2025, we proudly launched the first-ever Young Mobility Network Mentoring Programme - a new initiative designed to create more opportunities for connection, growth, and empowerment within our community.

    In this pilot round starting April 2025, we matched 6 mentees with 6 experienced mentors from across the mobility industry. The goal? To foster meaningful 1:1 exchanges, provide support, and open doors for personal and professional development.

    The programme is all about learning from each other, building relationships, and growing together. We’ll be evaluating the outcomes and are already planning a second round for autumn - so stay tuned!

    Whether you’re looking to get guidance or give back, this is a great way to engage with some of the most passionate and inspiring people in the field.

  • At the Young Mobility Network, we believe in learning together. That’s why we’ve started offering bite-sized training sessions to help you grow both personally and professionally.

    So far, we’ve covered topics like:

    • How to optimize your LinkedIn profile to catch a recruiter’s eye

    • Networking coaching to help you make the most of industry events

    • ...and more learning nuggets are on the way!

    These sessions are designed to be practical, interactive, and relevant to where you are in your career journey.
    Got a topic you’d love to explore? We’re all ears - share your ideas and let’s shape the future of learning in mobility together!

  • Over the years, many of you have reached out with questions about job opportunities in the mobility sector. That’s why we created the YMN Job Wall - a dedicated platform where companies can promote their open positions through our websitenewsletter, and LinkedIn channels.

    But that’s not all - we’re also exploring new formats where you, as a young professional, can present yourself and make your voice heard. So stay tuned, because more exciting features are on the way!

    Are you a company with a job opportunity to share?
    Reach out to our CEO Anna Filby via anna.filby@young-mobility-network.com to discuss how we can feature your position and connect you with passionate young talent.

  • Events are a fantastic way to network, learn, and share your passion. However, young professionals often face barriers - high prices or being overlooked by managers who don’t see the value in bringing you along. That’s where we come in.

    We’ve created exclusive formats to help you grow at events, ensuring you have the opportunity to connect, learn, and showcase your skills. Here's how we support you:

    • Exclusive members discounts for events

    • Speaking opportunities on panels

    • Networking coaching to prepare you for meaningful conversations

    • Job matchmaking sessions to connect you with companies

    • Guided tours of event spaces to help you navigate and make the most of your time

    In the past, we've been at events like BUS2BUS, InnoTrans in Berlin, Interchange in Manchester, MOVE London, House of Energy Congress, and Bayern Innovativ Networking Event. In 2025, you'll find us at the UITP Summit in Hamburg, and we’re just getting started!

    Let’s create more diversity, break down barriers, and make sure young professionals have the chance to shine at these events. Come join us!

  • In addition to our monthly Digital Lunch Roulette and networking opportunities, we also host Digital Expert Talks where we invite companies and industry experts to share their knowledge and insights on a variety of exciting topics.

    These sessions have become a key part of our community, especially during COVID, when digital connections were more important than ever. We believe digital events hold tremendous potential for fostering international exchange and learning. From flying taxis, mobility budgets, pedestrian strategies, to autonomous driving - we’ve covered it all, and there’s so much more to come!

    These expert talks offer a unique opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, stay ahead of industry trends, and engage with thought leaders from around the world. Join us to get inspired and discover new ideas!

  • We are continuously expanding our offerings to better meet your needs and provide even more value to our community. If you have an idea or suggestion for something you'd like to see, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your input helps shape the future of the Young Mobility Network!

OUR PARTNERS

YOUNG

Europe is bubbling over with people working on the future of mobility – it's time to give them a common platform. We bring together the next generation of masterminds who are shaping the future of mobility in order to create synergies. We were missing a cross-company format for the youngsters of the mobility industry - so here it is. For us, “young” is not defined by age but a mindset and stage of your career. We welcome everyone who is open to learn and exchange.

MOBILITY

Mobility plays an important role for all of us and connects and concerns almost every aspect of human life. It is in big need of change and expecting further rapid growth. It is at once one of the biggest blessings and source of problems of today's world, an enormous challenge and opportunity at once. The members of the Young Mobility Network are active all over this fascinating topic and burning to contribute to a positive change.

NETWORK

The network is driven by positive energy and the communicative interaction of the members in several online and offline formats. We invite guest speakers to digital formats, meet in our Regional Hubs for regular’s tables and field trips, and we're constantly evolving! We welcome member contributions and open for your ideas! Of course, fun shouldn't be the last priority. Everyone is welcome.

The YMN is a great community - open, inspiring and friendly. You get to know new people every time and receive updates on current events in mobility context also in digital exchange formats. You can participate spontaneously, take part in meetings freely and expand your horizon and circle of friends. Everyone has different expertise and background. I’m happy to be part of this nice community.
— Benita Katenkamp, YMN Member
YMN opens doors to ideas and connections beyond imagination. It bridges the gap in peer interaction across Germany, offering a co-created network that evolves based on feedback and shared interests. It’s a place where new ideas are welcomed, and engagement methods are continually reimagined. The opportunity for personal, meaningful conversations is a wonderful bonus.
