ENGAGEMENT. INCLUSION. TRANSPARENCY. COMMUNICATION. COLLABORATION. TRUST. INTELLIGENCE.

These are the characteristics that drive a continuous cycle of innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment, and GEM Central is the unified body ensuring GEM’s mobility projects are executed within these ideals.

GEM Central is responsible for helping the region’s existing mobility ecosystem become better connected, smarter, more inclusive, and more adaptive to change.

It is the central convener between the GEM grant’s project partners, offering research, communications, administrative support, and a DEIJ lens through which all programs are viewed. GEM Central also ensures alignment across project partners, GEM’s advisory councils, mobility industry stakeholders, and GEM’s expansive network of coalition partners.
