December 28, 2021 – Samsung Electronics today announced its first-ever Bespoke French Door refrigerator, to be unveiled at CES 2022, bringing Bespoke to nearly every major refrigerator type sold in the United States.

Available in a choice of 3-door, 4-door and Family Hub™ models, the new Bespoke French Door refrigerator expands Samsung’s Bespoke lineup. At CES 2022, Samsung is set to display a full array of Bespoke appliances, including new products such as the Bespoke Jet™ cordless stick vacuum cleaner and the Bespoke Washer and Dryer, bringing Bespoke to the rest of the home.

The new line represents the very best of Samsung, pairing customizable designs with unique technologies that together inspire entirely new ways of living. With the Bespoke refrigerator as a centerpiece, consumers will be able to customize their décor to complement their personal style, with kitchen packages that include dishwashers, ranges and over-the-range microwaves in white, navy or green. Beyond the kitchen, the Bespoke Jet™ vacuum cleaner brings powerful cleaning performance and elegance to the living room, while the Bespoke Washer and Dryer make laundry routines intelligent and easy.

“The Bespoke concept was not just designed for the kitchen. We believe that consumers should have the freedom to customize their entire home to match their lifestyle needs,” said Kanghyup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “This expansion of the lineup empowers consumers to create living spaces that truly reflect their tastes and aesthetics — using Samsung’s meaningful innovations and technology.”

Bespoke French Door Refrigerator

Available in a range of sizes, configurations and colors, Samsung’s Bespoke French Door refrigerator brings Bespoke customization and a sleek flat-front design to the U.S. consumers’ most preferred refrigerator type. Expanding on the existing Bespoke refrigerator lineup, which includes the Bespoke 4-Door Flex™, Bespoke 2-Door Bottom Freezer and Bespoke 1-Door Flex Column, this latest addition ensures that there is a Bespoke refrigerator option to suit every family’s needs. The Bespoke French Door refrigerator will be available in 3-door and 4-door configurations — in both full and counter-depth models — and includes options featuring the upgraded Family Hub™ for 2022.

With 12 colors and two finishes — glass and steel — to choose from, the Bespoke French Door refrigerator features thousands of color combinations. In glass, new colors include White, Gray, Pink, Charcoal, Morning Blue, Clementine and Sunrise Yellow. In a steel finish, new colors include Tuscan, Matte Black, Navy, Emerald Green and Stainless Steel.

To help families better store and preserve their meals, the Bespoke French Door refrigerator comes packed with Samsung’s latest storage and cooling innovations. The Beverage Center™ and Dual Auto Ice Maker give users quick access to cold drinks, while the FlexZone™ keeps ingredients at the optimal temperature to ensure they stay fresh.

With a wide range of smart features, Family Hub™ brings entertainment into the kitchen and helps families stay organized and connected. In 2022, Family Hub™ will support Samsung TV Plus, providing free TV content and seamless continuous viewing experiences with other screens like Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy devices.

Family Hub™ for 2022 will also support Alexa in select regions, meaning consumers can access various Amazon services, including Amazon Music and smart water filter reordering services, on their refrigerators. View Inside has also been upgraded with internal camera technology for utilizing information on food labels, allowing families to view fridge contents, manage expiration dates, and more.

Bespoke Jet™

First introduced at Bespoke Home 2021 and coming to global markets in 2022, the Bespoke Jet™ cordless stick vacuum cleaner brings Bespoke innovation into the living room.

Featuring Samsung’s All-in-One Clean Station™, the Bespoke Jet™ takes the chore out of keeping your home clean and hygienic. Once they are done cleaning, users can simply dock the vacuum cleaner and it will automatically empty the dust bag and begin to charge.

The Bespoke Jet™ also features a modern, premium design that is powerful yet light, and built to offer families a comprehensive cleaning solution. It provides 210W1 of suction power and uses a multi-layered filtration system to trap 99.999 percent of fine dust,2 delivering a more powerful yet simpler cleaning experience to the contemporary home.

The Bespoke Jet™ is available in Midnight Blue, Misty White and Woody Green — colors that allow users to place their vacuum cleaner where they like without disrupting their living space’s overall décor.

Bespoke Washer and Dryer

Designed to introduce Bespoke to the laundry room, the Bespoke Washer and Dryer include cutting-edge smart features that make doing laundry more intuitive and efficient. Both devices feature a flat-front design and are available in multiple color options, including black and navy.

By learning usage patterns and laundry routines, the AI-powered Smart Dial prioritizes frequently used settings, minimizing work and simplifying the washing and drying process. Meanwhile, the intelligent AI OptiWash™ function optimizes wash settings as well as time and detergent levels for each load, taking the guesswork out of laundry. With MultiControl™, users can easily use both the smart washer and dryer from the washer control panel when units are stacked.

crypto-industry-braces-for-wider-adoption,-more-competition-and-perhaps-regulatory-clarity-in-2022

Crypto industry braces for wider adoption, more competition and perhaps regulatory clarity in 2022

crypto, Fin Tech, Highlights / /

‘I don’t see the regulators easing up on this. I think it will be quite a few years before there’s a clear stance on this [crypto regulation],’ says Ubik Group analyst’

Broader adoption of crypto related technology could drive further growth in 2022, while competition is also increasing among different blockchains and sectors, industry participants said.

The past year has proved that crypto is “not just a fad,” said Devin Ryan, director of financial technology research at investment bank JMP Securities. “This is a market where there’s been significant network effects building. And there’s a very strong vested interest in the ongoing success,” Ryan said. 

In November, total crypto market capitalization topped $3 trillion for the first time, before it fell to $2.39 trillion as of Tuesday, according to CoinGecko.

Meanwhile, the companies that are supporting the crypto economy also boast a value of $500 billion or more, according to Ryan. “This is the infrastructure companies and the exchanges and all the other plumbing and picks and shovels of the industry.”  

Loukas Lagoudis, executive director at crypto hedge fund ARK36 wrote in an email that the firm expected in 2022 more “investors will see allocation to digital assets as a part of their risk management strategy, especially given the increasingly inflationary economic environment and the declining bond yields.”

Partly due to bitcoin’s volatility, “a lot of banks and hedge funds will still have significant interest in trading these cryptocurrencies,” Christopher Vecchio, senior currency strategist at Forex data platform DailyFX, told MarketWatch. “There’s an opportunity to make markets here.”

More crypto-intensive businesses are expected to go public in 2022, according to a report by investment manager VanEck XBTF, +4.08%. “There are a wide range of businesses that crypto companies can participate in — from exchanges to digital asset miners to payment companies,” the report wrote. “As the crypto market continues to grow and develop, we anticipate the market to grow with new listings, and also shift as companies win and lose market share.”

More than bitcoin and ether

As the crypto industry grows increasingly mature, some analysts expect more funds to flow into cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin and ether ETHUSD, -0.15%.

“In 2022, people will begin to understand the vast scale of what’s possible with crypto and blockchain technology,” said Diogo Monica, president and co-founder of Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank. “It’s no longer just speculative investing in Bitcoin or Ethereum; we’re talking about NFTs (nonfungible tokens), DeFi (decentralized finance), remittances, capital preservation, and many other verticals,” Monica said. 

Some analysts expect the bitcoin dominance, which measures bitcoin’s market share of the whole crypto market, to continue to decline. Bitcoin dominance currently stands at 41%, down from 67% at the start of the year, according to charting platform TradingView.

“It’s unlikely we will ever see BTC dominance above 60% again,” Jason Desimone, head of blockchain at crypto-focused software company Ubik Group, told MarketWatch in an interview. “Bitcoin, ether, are always safe bets, but I don’t think they have the most upside, just because a lot of their value has been realized already, ” Desimone said. 

Thanks to Etheruem’s high gas fees, or the computational effort required to execute operations, Desimone said some other blockchains, such as Solana SOLUSD, -0.24% and Avalanche, could gain more advantages in 2022 as competition intensifies. Ethereum is transitioning from proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake validation method, which is expected to lower the network’s gas fees upon completion. 

“I think the new trend in 2022 is going to be what’s called interoperability, which means where you can migrate from one blockchain to another pretty seamlessly, pretty quick,” Desimone said. “We’re going to see a new ecosystem with a lot of undervalued tokens rising a lot.”

The crypto industry has witnessed the development of more vertical sectors in 2021, and analysts expect the trend to continue. In the past year, DeFi, saw explosive growth, as the total value locked in DeFi rose more than 270% to $98.7 billion since the start of 2021, according to data provider DeFi Pulse.

NFTs attracted unprecedented attention, as the largest NFT marketplace OpenSea saw its transaction volume growing to around $51 million from $20,650 at the start of the year, according to data site DappRadar.

Meme coin Dogecoin DOGEUSD, 1.09% traded up about 3,169% so far in 2021, while another dog-themed token Shiba Inu SHIBUSD, 4.49% rose more than 41,000,000%. Prices of Metaverse-related tokens surged thanks to the boost by Meta FB, +1.45%, or previously Facebook. Blockchain gaming, represented by Axie Infinity and The Sandbox, also gained more ground. 

Regulatory clarity?

In 2021, U.S. regulators made several pushes for new rules in crypto.

The ​​U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission greenlighted multiple bitcoin futures-based ETFs. President Joe Biden signed into law a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, which contains a provision that would require brokers of digital assets to record and report transactions to the Internal Revenue Service starting 2023. The president’s working group called on Congress to quickly pass new legislation that would require stablecoins to be issued by insured banks that are overseen by federal banking regulators. 

However, uncertainties still remain, as the market ponders whether crypto lending products are securities, how stablecoins and decentralized finance should be regulated, and whether the SEC will approve a spot bitcoin ETF soon. 

“The voices calling for crypto regulation, whether it be for tighter consumer protection or just clarity of the rules for institutions, are getting much louder,” Huong Hauduc, general counsel at digital asset prime brokerage and exchange BEQUANT, said in an email to MarketWatch. 

Some analysts are positive that the U.S. regulators will provide more clarity in the coming year. “It’s been very nice to kind of see across the board, a thoughtful and careful approach to regulation, and very good engagement from federal regulators with the industry,” Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO at Anchorage Digital told MarketWatch.

However, some remain bearish. “I don’t see the regulators easing up on this. I think it will be quite a few years before there’s a clear stance on this [crypto regulation],” Ubik Group’s Desimone said. “I think what’s going to happen, unfortunately, is the smartest talent and the most capital is going to flow towards the jurisdictions that are (more) crypto friendly.”

Ethereum Will Be The New App Store In A Decentralized Future, Says Microsoft Exec

crypto, Fin Tech, Highlights, nft / /

December 9, 2021• by

  • Microsoft’s top-ranking executive has touted Ethereum to be the de facto app store in the future.
  • He says the timeline for this to happen is 2023 and will occur after Ethereum scales up.
  • Ethereum network plays a key role in NFTs, DApps, and decentralized finance.

According to Microsoft’s Director, the Ethereum network could gain even more adoption in the future. The network’s offerings and capabilities will make it the ground-zero for apps in 2023.

Ethereum – The Mothership

Yorke Rhodes, the Director of Digital Transformation at Microsoft has hailed Ethereum’s stellar features and has predicted the network to be the go-to hub for apps by 2023. As the world inexorably marches towards a decentralized future, DApps are beginning to rise in popularity and according to Dapps Radar, there are over 9,000 decentralized applications in existence.

“Prediction: Ethereum becomes the Decentralized Appstore by 2023,” said Rhodes against the backdrop of falling revenues from traditional app stores like Google and Apple. 

Rhodes’ prediction of 2023 might be tied to the Ethereum network’s transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake that will usher in a new era for the network. The transition is viewed as a major solution to the nagging problem of scaling and the high gas fees associated with Ethereum in recent months. Already, Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed some short-term scaling solutions for the network.

While Ethereum has the pedigree of being the first mover with decentralized applications like CryptoKitties gaining traction in 2017, it has come under threat from newer blockchains like Solana and Polkadot. It is widely expected that after Ethereum transitions, the network will be able to muscle the competition from other blockchains.

Ethereum’s switch to Proof-of-Stake is billed to be completed sometime in 2022. The network has well over 3,000 DApps built on it and is the undisputed leader in the nascent fields of NFTs and DeFi.

DApps Will Play A Huge Role

Web 3 is the new rallying cry of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, signaling a shift away from the traditional internet as we know it. This iteration of the internet focuses on decentralization which is in contrast with the current regime of centralization of data by big tech companies. 

DApps have their backend code running on decentralized peer-to-peer networks, unlike traditional applications that run their codes on centralized servers. According to proponents, DApps, NFTs, DeFi, and DAOs will serve as the building blocks for a new future of the internet.

NFT/Crypto becoming ‘impossible to ignore,’ as it ropes in more Wall Street investors

crypto, Fin Tech, Highlights, nft / /

December 8, 2021• by

The cryptocurrency industry is steadily roping in Wall Streets giants. In its year-end letter, LionTree’s Chairman and CEO Aryeh Bourkoff highlighted the exponential growth and potential of the budding sector. Thus, citing the recent quest by the ConstitutionDAO to buy the American Constitution’s NFT. He said,

“It epitomizes the potential of the new economy: cutting-edge technology at the service of communities who can act upon their shared ideas not only recreationally, but in ways that create lasting value.”

He also argued that cryptocurrencies could fulfill the internet’s goal of empowering individuals. According to him, the crypto sector has now become “impossible to ignore” with the industry’s market cap sitting at over $2 trillion.

Furthermore, he noted that cryptocurrencies are also helping those with excess cash to guard their funds against inflation while also getting higher yields and returns.

Expanding upon LionTree’s future crypto plans, the banker noted,

“We’re currently exploring ways to start accepting crypto as payment for our services, and in the not-so-distant future, as our ecosystem grows and our relationships continue to mature, we might even create our own LionTree token of trust.”

However, Bourkoff’s high praise was accompanied by issues that he feels need to be addressed before cryptocurrencies truly become mainstream. He noted that the industry needs to become more energy efficient to be widely accepted.

Thereby, adding that a single transaction on the Ethereum network utilizes more energy than an average U.S. household does in a week. Notably, he also mentioned the need to adopt friendly user interfaces by crypto platforms so that their user base can expand further from a predominantly male and tech-savvy population.

The biggest issue perhaps would be meaningful regulation, according to Bourkoff, as it would include governing cryptocurrencies that are explicitly marketed as alternatives to fiat currencies. He said,

“Globally, countries will have to balance regulation and innovation, and weigh their desire to attract the next generation of entrepreneurs against their urge for control through centralized currencies.”

LionTree has had a successful 2021, having brokered some large media acquisition deals including those between WarnerMedia with Discovery Inc. along with Amazon’s acquisition of MGM Studios.

Bourkoff and his firm are one of the proponents of traditional finance that are now dipping their toes into the cryptocurrency industry. Just recently, billionaire investor Ray Dalio revealed that he owns “bits” of Bitcoin and Ethereum, adding that,

“It has been an amazing accomplishment for bitcoin to have achieved what it has done, from writing that program, not being hacked, having it work, and having it adopted the way it has been.”

In fact, a recent survey by EY found that one-in-four hedge fund managers are expecting to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies in the next one to two years. Besides, 20% of the surveyed institutional investors claiming the same.

And now, slowly, many developers are catching up to it and can tag their digital collectibles.

But, what does this mean? Game developers realize that an in-game economy based on blockchain networks rather than on real currency can give them their rights in value and existence rather than just an in-game currency.

Solana ($SOL) Might Skyrocket After Hitting Bottom

Solana ($SOL) Price Could Soon ‘Rage Pump’ After Hitting Bottom, Crypto Analyst

A closely-watched cryptocurrency analyst who predicted 2018’s bear market bottom, has predicted that the price of Ethereum ($ETH) competitor Solana ($SOL) could soon see a “rage pump” after hitting a bottom below the $150 mark.

The pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Smart Contracter, noted on Twitter that Solana has bottomed with a “nice clean 3 wave move down from the highs on daily,” The analyst told his nearly 200,000 followers he expects Solana’s price to hit a new all-time high.

Smart Contracter’s price prediction uses Elliott Wave theory, which according to Investopedia was developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1920s after he observed and identified “recurring, fractal wave patterns.”

These fractal wave patterns are based on the psychology of the masses. The Elliott Wave theory is usually interpreted is usually interpreted based on five waves moving in the direction of a main market trend, which can be bullish or bearish, and by three corrective waves. The repetition of these patterns, theory suggests, allows the movements of asset prices to be predicted.

The theory is said to have gained notoriety when Elliott himself predicted the stock market bottom in 1935 after a 13-month correction. Smart Contracrer’s analysis of SOL using it suggests the price of the cryptocurrency has completed a wave-two corrective phase and is now ready for a third wave rally.

Based on his analysis, he predicted a Solana price “rage pump” is near and advised followers not to forget Solana’s past rally earlier this year. Notably Zhu Su, CEO of crypto investment firm Three Arrows Capital, has revealed the firm has been accumulating “a massive amount of SOL.

As CryptoGlobe reported, popular cryptocurrency exchange Kraken recently suggested the price of Solana could rally up to 260% by the first quarter of next year based on technical analysis of its price performance since 2020.

In its November 2021 Market Recap and Outlook report, Kraken detailed that Solana has been in a “broadening ascending wedge” and “appears in the early innings of its fourth wave of price discovery.”  Adoption of Solana has been growing, with crypto-friendly browser Opera planning to integrate its ecosystem into its wallet early next year.

OUTSIGHT LAUNCHES THE FIRST REAL-TIME LIDAR SOLUTION FOR THE FORESTRY INDUSTRY

Outsight is bringing the power of real-time LiDAR technology to the forestry industry, democratizing instantaneous forest mapping.

  • An automated 3D solution that produces a 360° forest mapping in real time, and collects data on  individual trees which operators can digitally tag
  • Portable: the LiDAR box integrating Outsight’s software can be carried in a backpack and connected to a tablet for real-time surveys
  • 3 to 5 times faster than usual data collecting methods while being accurate and exhaustive
  • Offers GPS geolocation, allowing operators to overlap maps, if necessary

Paris (France), June 7, 2021 – Outsight, a leader in 3D Spatial Intelligence, has announced the launch of the first real-time LiDAR solution for the forestry industry. Drawing on its established LiDAR expertise in other industries, Outsight has developed a mapping solution capable of generating a comprehensive 3D map of a forest in real-time. Taking no longer than the time needed for the human or machine operator to traverse the plot, Outsight’s solution automatically determines the exact position and characteristics of trees. On-site operators can digitally tag each tree with supplemental information, including species or the presence of insects, that can be used for further analysis.

This solution further builds upon Outsight’s expertise in the environmental and forestry sectors. In July 2020, Outsight was selected from a large pool of candidates to be a recipient of the European Innovation Council’s inaugural Green Deal funding. A part of the European Union’s Green Deal Strategy, Outsight was chosen for its LiDAR-based environmental and forestry management and conservation solutions.

Outsight’s solution is already being used by forestry researchers around the world. Esteemed forestry professor, Philippe Nolet, has been using Outsight’s LiDAR processing technology to assist in his forest monitoring research at Université du Québec en Outaouais in Gatineau, Canada.

“With Outsight, we’re able to complete our surveys of the forest three times faster”, says Philippe Nolet. “Then, when we’re back in the office, we have a detailed inventory of the plot with all our notes automatically tagged to each tree, saving us a huge amount of time.”

The solution has also been adopted by Outsight’s Hong Kong-based partner, Insight Robotics, a leader in the Forestry Risk Management sector. Using Outsight’s ground-based LiDAR tool to supplement its market-leading aerial survey solution, Insight Robotics can provide its clients with even more accurate survey data, allowing customers to better manage their forests and plantations.

“Outsight’s LiDAR solution allows our team to quickly and accurately map a section of the forest and use the 3D map to complement our aerial survey results”, says William Tao.

After the proven success of its forestry-focused LiDAR solution on three continents, Outsight is continuing to work on new features for this market.

Award-Winning Technology

Outsight has successfully designed and built the next generation of LiDAR processing solutions, which have been the subject of 73 patent applications.

Outsight’s innovative solutions have won numerous awards, including the prestigious Best of CES Innovation Award in Las Vegas and the Prism Award from world leaders in photonics and lasers.

SMOOVE and ZOOV unveil Fusion, a connected electric bike for self-service and long-term leasing, offering universal access to cycling

Adventure Tech, bicycle, bike, ces2021, ces2022, Highlights / /

Thinking bigger to improve the quality of life in our cities

There is no doubt that electric bikes are the most reliable and efficient alternative to cars. But, despite the significant uptake of cycling in affluent areas, it hasn’t yet developed enough in the areas where it’s needed the most.

According to an internal study of major French cities outside Paris, less than half of inhabitants live a 10-minute walk away from a self-service bike station. Additionally, ADEME and Indiggo find that three quarters of all self-service bike systems are in cities with over 50,000 inhabitants. We must accelerate the adoption of bicycles to all urban and suburban areas – to reduce transport- related CO2 emissions and noise pollution, to improve health and, ultimately, to make our cities more peaceful places to live.

“The key to the mass-adoption of cycling lies in a city’s ability to offer their citizens equitable access to efficient active mobility services that are always available, whatever the time, place and need. Smoove and Zoov intend to support cities and their elected officials in their mobility transformation, for the benefit of the lives of their inhabitants” – Benoît Yameundjeu, CEO of Smoove.

An all-inclusive electric bike «as a service» offer – from short to long-term use

Smoove and Zoov are advocating the implementation of Augmented Bike Networks that connect entire cities, and are interlaced with public transport to facilitate multimodal journeys. These bikes can be rented on an ad hoc basis or can be privatised at any time for more frequent use. With this in mind, the group is unveiling the first self-service electric bike that is perfectly suited for long-term rental.

Fusion has a 65-kilometre range and, when being operated in self-service, can be recharged through the world’s most compact charging station. Each station accommodates up to 10 bikes, locked together with electromagnets – which also allows for the transfer of energy from one bike to the next. For long- term rental, the removable battery is secured by an electronic lock, giving the user the freedom to recharge when necessary and total peace of mind when leaving the battery in the bike. The custom-designed luggage rack ensures comfortable home-to-work journeys, and can also accommodate a baby seat.

The electric bike is controlled by a mobile app, allowing the user to:

  • Sign up to, manage or cancel their subscription at any time
  • Locate their own bike or a nearby self-service bike
  • Unlock and lock the bike
  • Unlock and recharge the battery (long-term leasing)
  • Follow an integrated GPS route
  • Receive theft or low battery alerts (long-term leasing)
  • Speak to customer service
  • And much more.

When operated in a fleet or shared bikes, Fusion can be unlocked from a payment kiosk or with a transport card thanks to RFID compatibility.

From the design of the bike and compact smart station, to the built-in intelligence and the mobile app, a high-quality user experience is at the heart of the mission to create long-term, committed cyclists.

“The first challenge we confronted was to build a bike that flourished at the crossroads of self-service and long-term rental whilst also remaining accessible, in terms of cost. The second challenge was to use connectivity and software to turn data-driven innovation into a seamless experience and provide a level of service that continually exceeds expectations” – Arnaud Le Rodallec, Chief Product Officer & Co-Founder of Zoov

The all-in-one service created by Smoove and Zoov blurs the boundaries between bike-sharing and personal cycling, which allows cities of all sizes to offer a complete bike solution to all inhabitants – from city centre to suburbs – whatever the nature or duration of their need.

Amira Haberah, Marketing and Sales Director and Co-founder of Zoov, adds: “What completely changes the game is that each city can offer a complete service, addressing all use cases, with the same fleet of bikes. This generates strong operational synergies – from the management of repairs and spare parts to human resources – that drastically reduce the cost of access to the service.”

Subscription-based electric bikes arrive in Bordeaux

This autumn, the company will launch its inaugural long-term rental service in Bordeaux. The subscription includes a personal electric bike, a charger for the battery, insurance against theft and damage – and an on-demand maintenance/repair service (guaranteed within 24 hours).

The company already operates a fleet of 500 self-service electric bikes in the city, with a satisfaction rate of over 95% since its launch.

Early-bird registration for the subscription-based offer in Bordeaux is now open to the general public at www.zoov.eu. The number of places is limited.

About Smoove and Zoov

Smoove  and  Zoov,  two  technological  leaders  in  the  field  of  sustainable mobility, joined forces in April 2021. Having already put hundreds of thousands of people on saddles in over twenty cities around the world (including Paris, Moscow, Vancouver and Helsinki), the group’s mission is to offer universal access to cycling in all regions, with a simple promise: whether you need a bike for a short or long period of time, you will always find one nearby, quickly. With comfortable and robust bikes adapted to self-service and private use, compact charging infrastructure, a complete, connected experience for the user, and advanced management tools for the operator, Smoove and Zoov are creating on-demand bike networks. These networks, when deployed on a large scale, become the backbone of mobility in more harmonious and sustainable cities.
