Inurba Mobility founded in 2014 as the micro mobility division of Moventia Group, is one of the national leaders in the transport sector, winning the operation of the Helsinki public bicycle system. Since then, Inurba Mobility has consolidated its position as one of the European benchmarks in this field,also operating three other concessions in Finland and Peru.
Inurba Mobility stands out for its unique proposal in the European market as an independent bike-sharing operator, its excellent track record in the concessionaires operated, as well as a network of technological and commercial partners that allow it to offer a unique and adaptable solution to the mobility needs of the cities.
At a sector level, public or shared bicycles offer an environmentally friendly urban mobility alternative that reduces traffic congestion in cities. This interest in bike sharing has now been accentuated by the search for non-massive ecological mobility solutions and alternatives to traditional private and public transport derived from the COVID-19 situation. All this, together with the attractiveness of the CityBike proposal, means that it has remarkable growth prospects.
