MaaS Catalonia

Launch of the MaaS Manifesto

MaaS Catalonia is an initiative launched with the main aim of generating a space for debate, expert analysis, knowledge sharing, development of opportunities, and projects relating to MaaS in Catalonia. MaaS Catalonia calls on all public and private stakeholders to participate and come up with proposals, in a constructive and open way, in a framework of cooperation.

Our first initiative was to launch the "MaaS Manifesto", released on May 28, a document that sets out seven principles considered as pillars to build MaaS from a high-level perspective and, of course, subject to the constructive debate we wish to promote. With the "MaaS Manifesto", MaaS Catalonia initiates its activity, seeking international cooperation with the widest spectrum of stakeholders from the outset.
