The Climate Mobility Challenge and bahn.business 360° Summit
Projektron's award at the Climate Mobility Challenge 2024 took place during the bahn.business 360° Summit, an industry get-together where leading companies presented sustainable best practices in the field of mobility. The event took place in the climate-neutral location Smartvillage in Munich and offered a platform for lectures, discussions and networking in addition to the award ceremony.
