Cocolis finalist of the European Startup Prize for Mobility!!!!!
7 February 2018
European Startup Prize for Mobility: the European Parliament, Via ID and the Boston Consulting Group have launched this competition for startups in the transport and mobility of goods and people.
The European Startup Prize for Mobility encourages innovative transport initiatives and the development of more environmentally friendly mobility at the European level.
- 500 startups applied to the European Startup Prize for Mobility,
- 10 finalists will benefit from international visibility and recognition, thanks to a tour of the biggest European tech events,
- And for the 4 main winners: a personalised business and legal coaching programme with the Boston Consulting Group for four months to unlock the full potential of their projects in Europe.
We jumped at this great opportunity and submitted an application for Cocolis!!
Why did Cocolis apply to the European Startup Prize?
While Cocolis currently operates in France via our website www.cocolis.fr, we will soon be expanding our service to other European countries.
Indeed, it’s not just about reducing the number of cars on the road in France: we will build a greener future by expanding the affordable and eco-friendly delivery service offered by Cocolis to more European countries!
(Editor’s note: it is already possible to use Cocolis to send goods to other European countries, but the service is only available in French).
A great joy
On the morning of 7 February we received the good news. We are VERY PROUD to announce that Cocolis is among the 10 finalists of the European Startup Prize for Mobility!!!
We would like to thank the prize jury, made up of personalities (Joël Hazan – BCG, Catherine Leboul Proust – GRDF), tech leaders (Gilles Babinet), mobility specialists (Fabrizio Ruggiero – Europcar, Ross Douglas – Autonomy, Edward Arkwright – ADP), investors (Yann Marteil – Via ID) and members of the European Union (Karima Delli – MEP EELV, Kadri Simson – Estonian Minister of Economic Affairs) as well as the sponsors (Frédéric Mazella – Blablacar and Violeta Bulc – European Commissioner for Transport).
