Thomas Pühringer

Thomas Pühringer is Senior Director and Head of Solution Portfolio Management at SKIDATA. He leads global strategy across Parking & Mobility and Visitor Management, shaping integrated platforms that connect infrastructure, payments, and digital services. Over more than twenty years in product strategy and portfolio leadership, Thomas has built a reputation for transforming complex requirements into scalable, customer‑centric solutions adopted by operators and cities worldwide.

His approach to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) bridges technology, policy, and user experience. By aligning stakeholders and standards, he helps cities move from fragmented systems to interoperable ecosystems that make mobility simpler, cleaner, and more inclusive. Thomas advocates for putting people at the center—using real‑time data and predictive analytics to personalize journeys, optimize operations, and inform better planning decisions.

In Brussels, he will share insights on the evolving role of MaaS in shaping future cities: how parking can become a strategic lever for behavior change; how multimodal hubs, digital wallets, and in‑car interfaces reduce friction; and how cross‑sector collaboration—across transport, energy, and public services—enables measurable outcomes such as lower emissions, improved flow, and broader accessibility. Attendees will gain practical guidance and case examples to accelerate user‑centered mobility in their own contexts.
