Toyota brought its global corporate initiative "Start Your Impossible" to Athens, which consolidates the company's long-standing commitment to "Freedom of Movement" for all. The first Toyota Mobility Summit, held at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, had it all: From the Japanese company's robots, to a live online discussion with Akio Toyoda and tests of Toyota's new electric city vehicle, i-road.
As part of the presentation of the "Start Your Impossible" initiative and its collaboration with the Olympic and Paralympic Games as the first Mobility Partner in the history of the event, Toyota held the first Toyota Mobility Summit yesterday in Athens, the city that hosted the first modern Olympic Games.

The event included a lively discussion with Toyota's President, Akio Toyoda, as well as a series of interactive discussions with world-class personalities, as well as Olympic and Paralympic athletes who have surpassed themselves by making their own impossible - "Impossiple" - a reality.
The topics of the Toyota Mobility Summit covered the issue of mobility from multiple "perspectives" - social, physical, physical and sporting, as well as discussing the future of mobility through new technologies and continuous research.
