Jochen Engert: Founder @Flixbus, Sustainable Mobility, Global Expansion, Overregulation | Slush 2024
Episode details
Episode description
In the race toward net-zero, green transportation has sparked an explosion of futuristic ideas—drones, hyperloops, new planes—but do these innovations hold the answers we’re hoping for? Is true sustainable travel achievable, and more importantly, scalable through cutting-edge technology, or will we ultimately need to go back to basics and focus on refining existing infrastructure? Join Jochen Engert, Founder of Flixbus, and Christian Meermann of Cherry VC as they unpack the realities behind the buzz. They’ll explore Flixbus’s global impact on sustainable travel, question the role of public monopolies in hindering green tech adoption, and discuss how consumer attitudes toward sustainability are shaping the future of transportation. This conversation will challenge assumptions about what it takes to make travel truly green. --- Slush is the most founder-focused event on Earth, delivering actionable company-building advice while bringing together the who’s who in startups and tech.
