What is Women in Mobility?

At Smarter Mobility Africa summit, we will bring attention to gender disparities whilst giving women the power to lead change in mobility. The Women in Mobility Breakfast will ensure no woman stands alone against inequality, safety and lack of access. This event will create a support structure for women to empower and learn from each other.

It will also foster networking opportunities, knowledge exchange, and mentorship amongst women professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders in various sectors of the mobility industry. It’s all about Women in Mobility – Leading the Way to enhance opportunities for younger women who aspire to build a career in the futuristic and dynamic mobility sector.

Why Women in Mobility?

Providing affordable, safe and efficient mobility gives access to basic needs for food, shelter, income and connects people to social services. Men are less likely to use public or non-motorized transport because most men own a private vehicle. Whereas most women rely on public transport or walking & cycling to get to where they need to go.


The disparity between men and women’s travelling patterns remains largely unnoticed. Women must often adapt to the mode of transport they’re required to take even though it’s purely designed for men.

Who Should Attend?

The audience for the Women in Mobility Breakfast is diverse & inclusive, open to women professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders across various sectors of the mobility industry, including but not limited to:

  • Public transport and logistics
  • Urban planning and development
  • Manufacturers
  • Automotive
  • Start-Ups
  • Sustainable and alternative transportation solutions
  • Technology and innovation
  • Policy and regulation
  • Government – Department of Transport, Mineral & Resources, Environmental Affairs, Growth & Development Agency, AFTCA, AU, Embassy
  • Non-governmental organisations – ITDP, UNEP, Africa Centre for Cities
