What’s Next for Voi? Fireside Chat with CEO Fredrik Hjelm at Micromobility Europe 2025

In this in-depth fireside chat, Fredrik Hjelm, Co-Founder & CEO of Voi, joins Tech.eu’s Robin Wauters live at Micromobility Europe 2025 to reflect on Voi's 7-year journey from the chaotic early days of scooter wars to becoming a profitable, semi-public micromobility leader operating in 110+ cities across Europe.

Fredrik opens up about:

  • Losing and then regaining Paris and why it matters
  • Navigating the shift from hypergrowth to profitability
  • Raising public debt and preparing for a future IPO
  • Why circularity, not just sustainability, is key to Voi’s 2035 net-zero goals
  • Building a “full stack” mobility company across hardware, software, data, and operations
  • How Voi is leveraging AI to drive internal efficiency and improve rider behavior

With candid insights on regulation, safety, competition, and investor expectations, this is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of urban mobility.
