Business Development Intern

Urban Connect is a multimodal integrated mobility platform for companies and communities, enabling shared, carbon-neutral mobility. The platform offers companies an ecosystem of low-emission, shared vehicles - everything from e-bikes to e-scooters and e-cargo bikes to e-cars with everything bookable via one app. In addition, the platform enables the simple integration of existing vehicle fleets, including the measurement and management of their utilization. It is in this context that we help companies map an optimal, sustainable, cost-effective mobility mix for their employees.
