About Ibex Publishing
Ibex Publishing is an independent media and publishing company focused on transport, mobility, and sustainability. Our flagship title, The Green Mobility Magazine, delivers expert insight and trusted analysis on global and European transport policy, sustainability, energy, trade, and industrial strategy.
We cover all modes of transport—aviation, rail, maritime, and road—and engage with the full spectrum of issues that shape the sector. Our goal is to empower professionals with sustainable transport intelligence, connecting public and private stakeholders through trusted editorial, curated events, and high-level dialogue.
