Distributed ledger technology offers a variety of new possibilities that can be used in mobility, trade and logistics, which can unleash unimagined efficiency potential and arbitrage profits. Blockchain technology is regarded as the ultimate solution for implementing decentralized governance structures and digital identities. A so-called web-of-trust scheme can create the basis for trustworthy transactions by making all (anonymous) transactions traceable. This ensures transparent and efficient resource management, which also makes a significant contribution to increased cybersecurity.

In the automotive sector, the mega-topics of the future "electrification", "autonomous driving" and "sharing economy" dominate the discussion, which is fueled by many studies, scenarios and visions of the future. Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in the research area of the Chair of Mobility, Trade and Logistics in order to efficiently link these topics. Last but not least, space mobility and satellite communication (which is indispensable for autonomous driving in terms of communication, data transmission and networking) are moving to the center of current research and teaching activities.
