Voi Technology

About

Born from a vision to revolutionize urban mobility, Voi's journey began in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2018. Four founders, Fredrik Hjelm, Douglas Stark, Adam Jafer, and Filip Lindvall, shared a common goal: to challenge the dominance of cars in cities and create urban spaces that were made for living. They envisioned a future with less congestion, noise, and pollution. The initial idea was simple yet powerful: a dockless electric scooter rental service that would provide a convenient, affordable, and environmentally friendly solution for the 'last mile' of a person's commute. This concept was not just about transportation; it was about reclaiming cities for people and fostering a more sustainable way of life. The company's name, 'Voi,' which means 'go' in several languages, perfectly encapsulated this mission of seamless and accessible movement. From its Scandinavian roots, Voi rapidly expanded its vibrant coral-colored scooters across Europe. Within its first year, the service launched in over 40 towns and cities, quickly surpassing one million rides. This initial success was a testament to the growing public demand for alternative modes of transport. Voi's growth wasn't just about geographical expansion; it was also about continuous innovation. The company introduced swappable batteries to improve operational efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. Recognizing the importance of safety, Voi launched the 'RideSafe Academy,' the first online traffic school for e-scooter riders. As the company matured, it diversified its offerings, introducing e-bikes to become a multi-modal service. Collaborating closely with city governments and local communities, Voi has established itself as a trusted partner in shaping the future of urban transport, consistently introducing new vehicle models and in-app features to enhance safety, sustainability, and the overall rider experience, solidifying its position as a European leader in the micromobility revolution.
