Addressing the integration crisis

During the Industry Talks session, Dr. Kakpovbia presented on data analytics and the integration crisis blocking smart mobility. He highlighted how many organizations still manage disconnected systems, with only a small fraction achieving full integration.

BestCircle AI focuses on building unified operational intelligence that breaks down silos between fleet telematics, grid load data, and municipal systems.

Shaping people-centric mobility

Dr. Kakpovbia also joined a panel on people-centric software-defined connected and electric mobility, alongside Francisco Sanchez Pons (CTAG), Eng. Myada Roshd (Foxconn), and Dr. Teresa Senserrick (UWA).

The discussion emphasized that the smart cities of tomorrow must prioritize human needs and safety, not just software and infrastructure.

Why this matters

Participating in SMiLE 2026 aligns with our mission to drive the future of mobility through intelligent, AI-powered solutions that bridge complex data and actionable strategy.
