Building a Connected and Capable Mobility Community
The IAF community is not just a network — it's an engine of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and global advancement.
As an initiative committed to building a lasting and influential federation structure, IAF is laying the groundwork for a truly global community that brings together manufacturers, regulators, academics, startups, and civil society to shape the future of automotive mobility.
The programs presented here — including IAF University, fellowship platforms, pilot labs, and public innovation calls — are in active planning and development, with phased rollouts expected throughout Q1–Q2 of 2026.
These initiatives will evolve through the direct participation of our early members, technical committees, and partner institutions. Together, we will build a self-sustaining ecosystem of mobility changemakers.
