Snippet 1: Founding in the Middle of the Pandemic

The Young Mobility Network was born during the height of the pandemic — a time when connection felt more important than ever. What started as a digital space for exchange quickly turned into a growing community of young professionals eager to shape the future of mobility together.

Snippet 2: More Human Connection
We need to encourage each other more within the industry. The focus should be on people. We need to talk to each other, learn from one another — what’s working and what isn’t. When we communicate openly, everyone benefits and innovation can truly move forward.

Snippet 3: Young Mobility Academy
In this part of the episode, Anna shares her vision of creating a Young Mobility Academy — a structured space for learning, growing, and connecting. The idea: to build a solid foundation where young professionals can gain industry-relevant knowledge through different learning paths. Whether you're just starting out (Basic Track), ready to dive deeper (Advanced Track), or preparing to lead (Leader Track), the Academy would offer tailored content and real insights from the field. At the end, participants receive a certificate to showcase their achievements and newly gained expertise.

Thank you Wolfram for the opportunity to share more about what we do at YMN!
