Kick-off event CCAM Proving Region

The CCAM Proving Region (CPR) project is developing a large-scale, cross-border test area for smart and automated mobility (CCAM) technology. It offers access to advanced testing infrastructure, ranging from virtual simulations to test tracks and public-road trials, combined with expert support and a strong international collaboration network.

We would like to invite you to get acquainted with the project and the opportunities that CPR offers for your organisation during this kick-off.
