Electrifying Emerging Markets: Lessons from the Frontlines of E-Mobility
Electric mobility is moving fast in emerging markets, but the path looks very different in Santa Cruz, Nairobi, and Kuala Lumpur.
In this 45-minute conversation, we bring together three companies from the Seedstars network building e-mobility from the ground up:
Mobi is powering delivery riders across Latin America with electric motorcycles, battery swapping, and built-in financing.
Ampersand is pioneering electric motorcycles and battery-swap networks in Africa.
iMotorbike is transforming the used motorbike market in Southeast Asia.
Together, we'll compare what's driving adoption in each region, how the unit economics work, where infrastructure is still a barrier, and which partnerships make scale possible. Expect practical lessons, honest trade-offs, and plenty of time for your questions.
