Velo-city 2026: Eco-Counter’s agenda for the world cycling summit in Rimini (Italy)

Written by Raphaël Chapalain | Jun 9, 2026

As every year, we’ll have the great opportunity to attend Velo-City, the annual world cycling summit that brings together advocates, cities, decision-makers, academics and industry leaders from around the world to shape the future of cycling and sustainable urban development!

This year, Velo-City heads to Rimini, Italy, from 16–19 June 2026, for an edition themed “Delivering the Urban Dream”—with a focus on reshaping cities to improve quality of life and strengthen climate resilience.

We'll be a handful of people from the Eco-Counter team: come say hi to discuss cycling data and active mobility monitoring!

Come by Eco-Counter's booth (and see our demos)

At the Eco-Counter booth (number 39!), we’ll be happy to exchange about your projects, challenges and needs—whether you’re building a monitoring network, improving data quality, or looking to turn counts into decision-ready indicators.

We are glad to host as well live demos of our new WAVIX-AI and CITIX-AI solutions (AI-powered counting and classification through radar and camera-based solutions).
