The UAE has established a pioneering, modern, and integrated transport ecosystem, supported by world-class infrastructure and an extensive network of roads, bridges, metro, and tram systems.

This has been further enhanced by the introduction of individual smart mobility solutions, including electric scooters and bicycles, which complement the country's modern transport landscape and enable community members to reach their destinations in a fast and cost-effective manner.

These solutions are considered efficient, easy-to-use, and environmentally friendly options for short daily commutes related to work and leisure. They connect public transport bus stops with commercial, retail, service, residential, and leisure centers. Electric bikes and scooters can be operated through smart applications provided by the operating companies, with each vehicle equipped with its own QR code.

In line with these objectives, the UAE has opened the door to startups to invest in this modern transport ecosystem by preparing the necessary infrastructure and establishing regulations and requirements that ensure safe usage.

Companies have since competed to offer their services in this field, benefiting from the UAE's fertile and ideal business environment, which embraces local and international startups and encourages the growth of innovative investments and entrepreneurship.
