We at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs are delighted to once again be the patrons of the IAA.prototype.club and to be able to support its contribution to the further development of our mobility.

The IAA.prototype.club is more than just an innovation competition. It is a platform that brings together the creative potential of start-ups and established companies in the transport and logistics industry to shape the future of mobility together. The innovative ideas and solutions developed at the IAA.prototype.club can make a significant contribution to the further development of our transportation system. The close cooperation between start-ups and established companies results in prototypes that have the potential to make our mobility more sustainable, safer and more efficient.

We are firmly convinced that networking initiatives such as these will make a decisive contribution to shaping the mobility of tomorrow and tackling the challenges of our time in a holistic manner. 

We wish all participants of the IAA.prototype.club much success and inspiring encounters.

Thank you very much
