In response to the technological, environmental, and societal transformations reshaping the mobility sector, ESCP Business School and SIXT have launched the Future of Mobility Chair.
The Chair advances thinking on next-generation mobility through applied research and practice-oriented education. Its objective is to develop knowledge on platform and sustainable mobility solutions, foster collaboration between academia and a global mobility leader, and prepare future leaders to navigate the evolving global mobility ecosystem.
Rethinking Mobility as an Ecosystem
Mobility today is increasingly structured around digital platforms, data-driven services, multimodal solutions, and highly personalized customer experiences.
SIXT sits at the forefront of transforming how people move. The Future of Mobility is about creating seamless, sustainable, and customer-centric mobility ecosystems. Through this partnership with ESCP, we aim to engage with the brightest minds in business education, sharing real-world insights while learning from fresh perspectives. Together, we will equip tomorrow's leaders with the strategic thinking needed to navigate and shape an industry in profound transformation.

This shared ambition lies at the heart of the partnership: bridging academic excellence and industry innovation to better understand and shape the sector’s evolution.
Practice-Oriented Learning at the Core
The Chair will be structured around three pillars: teaching, events, and research, and will be implemented through masterclasses delivered by SIXT executives, case studies based on real-world situations, applied research projects, as well as the supervision of theses on mobility-related topics. Workshops, conferences, and networking events will complement this initiative.
Thanks to SIXT’s commitment and support, the Chair enables students to explore the strategic, technological, and societal challenges of new mobility. Particular attention is given to the role of digital platforms and data in shaping seamless customer experiences, as well as to the growing personalization of mobility solutions.

Preparing Responsible Leaders for a Transforming Industry
Mobility is both a structuring force for organizations and a field where ecological transition and technological transformation converge.
By launching the Future of Mobility Chair, ESCP and SIXT reaffirm a shared ambition: to equip the next generation of leaders with the vision and strategic capabilities required to navigate and shape a rapidly evolving mobility landscape.
We are proud to partner with SIXT, a global leader that embodies the culture of excellence and innovation we cherish at ESCP. Mobility is undergoing a profound transformation. Together, we aim to produce cutting-edge insights into these shifts—from platform dynamics to sustainable solutions—and to inspire the next generation of leaders who will drive this ecosystem forward.
