What CAS | Netzwerk «SMART Mobility Management« (HSG) does

CAS SMART Mobility Management is a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) executive education program operated by the Institut für Mobilität (IMO-HSG) at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Founded in 2019, the program delivers a 15-day curriculum over 7 months across four modules — Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Digitalization, and Operations — awarding 12 ECTS credits upon completion. It targets senior executives, managers, and decision-makers in the automotive, mobility services, and public transport sectors who require structured expertise in managing the industry's digital and sustainability transformation.

The program's core product is the CAS executive certificate itself, complemented by a persistent alumni network, a digital community platform, and an exclusive DACH-region job board. Teaching is delivered by HSG Executive MBA professors alongside senior industry practitioners from BMW Group, Volkswagen, Uber DACH, Deutsche Bahn, Schaeffler, and public sector mobility authorities, with in-person sessions held in St. Gallen and Munich. Academic partnerships with the London School of Economics (LSE Cities) and Tongji University extend the international dimension of the curriculum.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through per-participant tuition fees of CHF 16,450, with cohort sizes typically in the mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Marketing and enrollment are conducted directly through HSG's executive education channel, supplemented by DACH industry partnerships (IAA MOBILITY, Women in Mobility, Mobilitätsverband.ch, Zukunft Nahverkehr, Tagesspiegel Background, ZFK). The program operates as a unit within a public university rather than as an independent commercial entity, with no external investors or M&A activity.
