The Taxi and Rental Car Association Germany e.V. (TMV) invites you to the annual Think Tank in Bamberg on October 23 and 24, 2025. The event will take place at the Catholic boarding school "Aufseesianum." The date follows the biennial rhythm of the European Taxi Fair (ETM) and is traditionally held in Bavaria.

Objectives and Function

The Think Tank is understood as the association's strategic innovation laboratory. The goal is to react early to developments in the mobility sector and to develop sustainable, socially compatible concepts. The platform brings together experts from transport associations, administration, business, practice, and related fields such as law, tax, and marketing.

Features and Working Method

The think tank is characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration, independence from political or ideological guidelines, and the combination of theory and practice. The work includes specialist studies, white papers, open discussion forums, and workshops. Within the TMV, a core team coordinates the activities, with the headquarters taking the lead.

Four Work Phases

The work of the think tank is divided into four phases:

  • Theme Identification: Scouting current challenges such as BOKraft, electromobility, commercial policy, on-demand transport, etc.
  • Research and Analysis: Research on the specified topics, collection of materials, and scenario models to evaluate various TT contents
  • Strategy Development: Deriving concrete action options and pilot projects for the perspective topics
  • Communication & Transfer: Conveying the results to association committees, association members, politics, and stakeholders

Benefit for the Association

The TMV sees the annual Think Tank as an opportunity for strategic foresight and as an early warning system for changes in the transport market. The independent creation of studies and pilot projects is intended to promote independence from external providers. Additionally, the format serves to build a network with actors in the Passenger Transport Act environment, startups, and authorities. Well-founded analyses are meant to improve the quality of decision-making bases and support the legitimacy of political decisions.

Success Factors

A clear organization, sufficient resources, and an independent working method are considered central for effective work. Transparency and the early involvement of relevant stakeholders from various disciplines are also mentioned as further decisive factors.
