Cities across Europe are turning to shared bike and scooter operators to help get their citizens moving once again — without getting too close to one another.

Some think this a big step towards more sustainable transport catching on. Others aren’t so sure about these micromobility companies’ ‘green’ credentials.

We discuss what kind of behavioural change cities are witnessing, dig into just how sustainable these forms of transport are and ask, what’s better: bikes — or scooters?

Making Europe “fit for the digital age” is an undertaking that requires cooperation and collaboration. This has only become more evident in 2020, when unprecedented disruption has demanded a reconfiguration of how businesses run, how public administrations operate, and how citizens go about their daily lives.

This unique virtual edition of Masters of Digital – DIGITALEUROPE’s flagship annual gathering – will focus on the role of digital in strengthening Europe’s emergence from the global pandemic, and look at how deeper collaboration between business, government and civil society will deliver on the goal of a stronger digital Europe.
