When we talk about “New Mobility”, we mean the different segments of mobility in full expansion: soft mobility, shared mobility, electric mobility or autonomous and connected mobility. This New Mobility is characterized by the use of light motorized vehicles that consume less energy, the development of a service economy which replaces the exclusive use of vehicles, the transformation of mobility in the digital age, and the rediscovery of soft mobility (bicycles and scooters, electric or not, and walking).
New space refers to a movement born in the United States focused on the privatization of access to space. Being an industry once governed by public funding, New Space features new private actors, namely start-ups, whose objective is to make the space industry accessible and inexpensive.
This new space economy has opened up the space race by multiplying public-private partnerships, accelerating its technological evolution, and reinventing its business model, thereby leading to new technological, economic, political, and regulatory challenges.
Drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), are aircraft without passengers or pilots that can fly throughout the airspace autonomously or by being controlled remotely from the ground. The size of the drones can vary from a few centimeters to several meters in length, and they can remain in flight anywhere from a few minutes to dozens of hours in the case of long-distance drones.
Green hydrogen refers to low-carbon hydrogen produced mainly from renewable energies through water electrolysis. It constitutes one of the levers for accelerating the energy transition towards carbon neutrality.
A servitization or as-a-service model consists of moving from a product-oriented model to a customer-oriented model, i.e no longer selling a product via a single act of purchase but selling the use or usage of that product as a service.
The term as-a-service also takes its place in the context of cloud computing to define the outsourcing of infrastructure, platform and “as-a-service” software (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
