Mobility as a Service Australia (MaaS Australia), one of the investors and contributors to MaaS Finland, recently visited Helsinki to strengthen collaboration and to share their expertise in developing the MaaS concept into reality.
During the visit, MaaS Australia members met a number of people from start-ups, transport operators and government who are involved in smart mobility. According to MaaS Australia director Andrew Somers, this network of innovators and the support and encouragement from government makes Helsinki and Finland a perfect incubator.
“Combined with our local market knowledge, this gives us unparalleled insight into the opportunities and challenges of establishing Mobility as a Service in Australia,” Somers continued.
The visit concluded with the signing of a partnership agreement and the two organisations will continue to explore opportunities to bring Finnish innovation to Australia.
