Nommon participates in Transforming Transportation 2025
Ricardo Herranz and Luisa Chaves represented Nommon at this year’s Transforming Transportation conference, which focused on the skills, policies, and resources needed to transition from planning to implementing equitable, sustainable, and resilient transportation systems.
Nommon participated in this year’s Transforming Transportation conference, organised by the World Bank and the World Resources Institute (WRI), which took place in Washington, D.C., on 12-13 March 2025. This flagship event brings together global leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss a variety of topics related to transport policies, infrastructures, and services. For the third consecutive year, Nommon took part in the event, further consolidating its presence in the international transport community.
Attending as part of the Spanish delegation led by ICEX, Ricardo Herranz, Nommon’s CEO, and Luisa Chaves, Business Development Director, engaged with key stakeholders to share Nommon’s vision for AI-driven mobility solutions. Throughout the conference, they took part in high-level discussions on how digitalisation is transforming the transport sector, enabling more efficient and sustainable mobility systems. A key milestone in this year’s participation was Ricardo Herranz’s role as a speaker in the breakout session “Digitalisation and AI for Safe Transportation”, hosted by ICEX, where he highlighted the potential of big data and AI-powered analytics in transport planning and road safety.
Nommon’s role at Transforming Transportation 2025
Nommon’s participation revolved around a rich programme of discussions, presentations, and networking events organised by ICEX and the Economic & Trade Office of Spain in Washington D.C., as well as the panels and debates hosted by the Transforming Transportation conference itself.
The agenda kicked off with a keynote address by the Spanish Ambassador to the United States, followed by different sectoral panels showcasing pioneering solutions and projects in urban mobility, rail transport, road safety, and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Among these, Aiga Stokenberga, from the World Bank’s Transport team, presented a project in which Nommon participated, highlighting the value of mobile phone data in generating detailed origin-destination matrices for cities such as Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Medellín, and Asunción. Another key meeting organised by ICEX was a strategic session at the Chilean Embassy, where Nommon met with representatives from the country, including the Ministry of Transport Carlos Muñoz Abogabir and the technical and financial team of Dirección de Transporte Público Metropolitano (DTPM) of Chile. The discussion focused on the renewal of the fleet management system for the public bus network of Santiago de Chile.
On Wednesday, Ricardo Herranz took the stage of the Transforming Transportation conference to participate in the panel “Digitalisation and AI for Safe Transportation”, alongside Ana Blanco (General Directorate for Traffic – DGT), Paloma Baena (Renfe), Luis Pérez (Indra), and Nicolas Peltier-Thiberge (The World Bank), who moderated the discussion. Ricardo highlighted how big data and AI are driving advancements in mobility planning and contributing to transport safety and efficiency. He underscored that while the core challenges in transportation — environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, inclusivity, and safety — remain unchanged, the tools available to tackle them have evolved significantly in recent years. The combination of new big data sources and cutting-edge AI technologies has opened opportunities to optimise transport systems by providing unprecedented insights into human travel behaviour and enabling a more precise, dynamic understanding of mobility patterns. Ricardo also referenced SOTERIA, a European research project focused on improving road safety for vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Nommon’s role in the project involves developing AI tools to identify the mobility patterns of VRUs and the associated safety risks, supporting the development of more effective safety policies and interventions.
Driving innovation for the future of mobility
Transforming Transportation 2025 explored a range of pressing transport challenges, including road safety, financing, innovation, electric mobility, logistics, and improving accessibility for vulnerable groups. For Nommon, this is a strategic event that aligns with the Company’s commitment to developing data-driven technologies that support more efficient, resilient, and sustainable transport systems. By actively contributing to high-level discussions, Nommon continues to position itself as a key player in the transformation of global transport networks and a leading innovator in intelligent mobility solutions.
