Sponsorship provides multiple venues and collateral items to connect you to the people you want to know, and who want to know you.

It’s a can’t miss event in our business calendar, and we always end up getting the latest news of the industry and a lead or two for our sales. It’s perfect for any micromobility company to position itself.”

As a sponsor, we were thrilled to engage in meaningful dialogues with key players in the shared micromobility arena and to reconnect with our esteemed partners. Together, we shared insights, fostered collaborations, and set the stage for innovative solutions that promise to reshape the way we commute in our cities. This event was not just a gathering but a beacon of progress in our collective quest to redefine urban mobility for a sustainable future.”
