Alif - The Mobility Pavilion

Meet the larger-than-life, nine-metre-tall historical giants of mobility whose innovations helped navigate the world and paved the way for the technology we use today. See a hyperloop capsule in action. Move beyond earth’s frontiers as you reach for space and feel empowered to explore uncharted territories and create the future you want.

Throughout our existence – from our very first steps out of Africa to space travel to our interconnected digital world – mobility has driven the development of humankind. We’ve moved from the desert to Mars and from the distant past to the near future. See how mobility will continue to transform the way we live, connect with people, understand different cultures, and exchange knowledge and ideas.

Step into the future where smart cities are created through artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, machine learning and autonomous transport. Learn about the complexity of moving goods around the world and how mobility could evolve in the human-centred city of the future.

Get hands-on by building your own robot or designing a spaceship. Watch demos of hoverboards and jetpacks. Attend workshops and see technology-inspired performances involving drones and robots. Witness how mobility can vastly improve the quality of life for people in developing countries through vehicles like solar-powered tricycles.
