About the Workshop

TRANSIT 2026 is designed as a working platform to move selected technology opportunities from broad discussion into structured project pipelines. The workshop will focus on industry-defined challenges, technology-gap analysis, collaborative project formation, validation pathways, and funding routes.

Many promising technologies remain trapped between laboratory validation and real-world adoption. The most difficult transition often occurs in the Mid-TRL stage, where technical proof must be converted into validated, reliable, certifiable, scalable, and fundable solutions.
