Another winning #startup. Another #podcast episode. Congratulations again Danielle Walsh! ⏯️

🚨New #podcast episode! 🚨 How did an (electric) road trip in the German mountains inspire Alexander to quit his job and found his #startup, ME Energy - Liquid Electricity GmbH? What solution is he offering for #OffGridCharging? What did his parents, grandparents and the German Chancellor think of his company? And where is headed now that his #ScaleUp is already spreading across Germany and Poland? Find out in Episode 6 of 'What were they thinking?', MD Dan Sobovitz in a candid conversation with 5th edition winner Alexander Sohl🎙️🚀🇩🇪🇪🇺

What is our startup experience like?... is it always fun or mostly frustrating?   Why are pillow fights happening at Stellar? And what are pillow fights?   These and other challenging questions were answered by our three Co-Founders Anela Boese, Damien Garot and Hassan Aouisse in the most recent episode of the "What were they thinkng?" podcast.   Dan Sobovitz, the host of the podcast and the person who has been there on every step of the way of the European Startup Prize for Mobility journey, has done a really great job at digging deep to understand who is behind Stellar, how the co-founders built up the business, and what convinced them to leave their comfortable corporate lives.   Listen to the episode on your favorite podcast platform or right here: https://lnkd.in/dmbm4u8A   Thanks for having our team on the podcast Dan Sobovitz!!   #EUSP23 #Connectivity #ConnectedMobility #StartupPodcast

I had the amazing opportunity to thank some of the creators of the European declaration on cycling yesterday! Karima Delli has been one of the driving forces behind clean mobility and especially the declaration on cycling. Pleasure to meet again and discuss the topics of cycling together with the Parliaments transport and tourism committee. And really happy to connect with the European green deal EVP Maroš Šefčovič. As Europe faces global competition with Asia and the US, it's vital that Europe can support the growth of new innovative businesses with net positive impact. A pleasure to discuss the change that mobility startups can create with the winners of the European Startup Prize for Mobility. Thank you so much Dan Sobovitz for creating this amazing community we have with the 2023 batch and facilitating these discussions with the parliaments transport and tourism committee as well as the commission. #Sustainability #Innovation #EUMobility #ClimateAction #cycling

🌍 Today in Brussels, representing Elonroad, I engaged with key figures at the EU Parliament, Karima Delli and the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič to discuss a green future for European transport. In light of the EU Parliament's recent approval of a law aimed at slashing the carbon footprint of trucks, the timing couldn't be better to advocate for the inclusion of electrical roads within the AFIR directive. As Elonroad leads the charge in this innovative technology, we highlighted how electrical roads can significantly complement the existing infrastructure of charging and hydrogen stations, accelerating our journey towards the EU’s climate targets. 🚗💡Our discussions were driven by the urgent need to broaden our toolkit for decarbonization. By integrating electrical roads into the AFIR directive, we can enhance the scalability of electric transport solutions across Europe, making a tangible impact on our environment. A huge thank you to the European Startup Prize for Mobility and Dan Sobovitz, facilitating these crucial conversations. I also had the opportunity to present the "2035 Joint Impact Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Reducing Pathways for EU Road Transport," which underscores the strategic importance of electrical roads. Jakob Rogstadius Let's unite our efforts to make electrical roads a part of the AFIR directive. Together, we can pave the way for a sustainable and efficient future. 🌱🔋 #Sustainability #Innovation #EUMobility #ClimateAction #Elonroad #MakeElectricRoadsAFIRReality
