Michael Minis, MOQO
Towards demand-oriented services
How an ecosystem shapes the mobility of the future
At MOQO, Michael Minis pursues a clear vision: The networking of sustainable, demand-oriented mobility offerings. In his talk, he shares deep insights into current market changes and the opportunities and risks for bike and carsharing operators, fleet managers, car rental companies, and especially the car dealership industry.
At the center of this is a necessary paradigm shift: The path away from being "asset-driven"—i.e., the management of vehicles and parking spaces—towards models that consistently orient themselves around the needs of the users ("demand-driven").
Michael explains how MOQO enables its partners to seamlessly manage the transition from classic carsharing and rental offers to corporate offers, subscription offers, and teleoperated offers, in order to increase their own profitability and relevance.
Learn how partners of the MOQO platform grow sustainably and build genuine trust with their customers through operational excellence, reduced manual effort, and a first-class user experience. In this way, we can collectively reduce the dependency on private cars.
About the speaker
Michael Minis has been a driving force in the industry for 16 years and is the founder and CEO of MOQO. Already during his studies at RWTH Aachen University, he founded tamyca in 2010, Germany's first peer-to-peer carsharing platform. Driven by the personal vision that future generations will have access to a vehicle on their doorstep at any time via smartphone, he launched MOQO in 2018. With well over a decade of experience in the industry, he and his team are working today to strengthen intuitive and sustainable mobility offerings at home and at work.
Learnings from the talk
End users should experience real benefits, through the help of AI (e.g. suggestions for better rental options)
Use AI to take pressure and workload off employees (e.g. delegate decisions with the help of AI)

ryd - the payment operating system for fleets
ryd is revolutionizing the payment process around the vehicle. As the market leader in the field of in-car payment, ryd is a manufacturer-independent payment operating system that connects gas stations, charging points, and car washes in a unified payment infrastructure. Drivers and fleets pay directly via the vehicle's infotainment system or by app.
With ryd fleet, ryd offers a fully digital payment operating system for companies and vehicle fleets. The app replaces classic fuel cards and enables direct payment at the gas pump or charging station, as well as at car washes – without a physical card, without PIN management, and without card logistics.
Especially in carsharing, ryd fleet eliminates typical problem areas of physical fuel cards: RFID or card reader problems, card wear and tear from heat and use, loss of cards, PIN misuse, as well as delayed fraud blockings. Time-consuming processes such as shipping cards, backend allocation, or replacement during in- and defleeting are also completely eliminated.
Authorization takes place digitally via app and geofencing with real-time data transmission to the backend. In combination with sharing systems like MOQO, it can also warn against misfueling.
ryd fleet simplifies processes, reduces administrative effort, and creates full control over the fleet – ideal for free-floating, station-based, and corporate carsharing as well as pool vehicles.

The inclusive growth strategy
How inclusion is the most effective way to maximize your fleet utilization
How can you sustainably increase your profitability by addressing diverse target groups, from families to the silver society? Or are you already exploiting the full potential of your fleet? Statistically speaking, the answer is probably no.
Many sharing providers still optimize their offerings for a standard user who hardly exists in reality. Anyone who ignores families, older people, or people with limited mobility today is leaving money on the table.
In this interactive talk, Lina Mosshammer, Managing Director at POINT&, uses practical examples to show that inclusive car sharing is much more than just accessibility. It is a growth strategy. She highlights where providers are still unconsciously creating barriers and wasting potential. Above all, however, she provides solutions. In this keynote, you will learn about the tools and adjustments you can use to implement inclusion operationally, improve the user experience for everyone, and thus significantly increase your utilization.

Creative solutions for shared mobility
Why civic engagement is the key to replacing the second car
Does carsharing work in places where households own as many as four or five cars? Petra Gruner-Bauer proves: Yes, it does. As a small provider in a rural area, Solix Mobil offers a unique perspective far removed from the metropolises. It is not just about vehicles, but about a true mobility transition through resource conservation and a local sense of community.
In her talk, Petra Gruner-Bauer provides insights into a model whose success no one initially believed in. She demonstrates how personal networking helps avoid vandalism and how a cooperative, as a driving force, enables projects that would hardly be viable on a purely commercial basis. Petra discusses the motivation behind volunteering and creating a mobility offer for families and businesses alike, down to the hard reality of profitability and how to reach the break-even point. Petra delivers proof that carsharing is scalable as a community project (from wind turbine to charging point) – in collaboration with municipalities and innovative partners.

From One Rule to Intelligent Fleet Operations
Europcar's Partnership with Lanterne
Europcar Germany's FleetShare program manages hundreds of corporate mobility vehicles across multiple stations. In this session, Michael Banietzki and Alex Barnes walk through how FleetShare operates, what their requirements were, and how Lanterne grew from a single automation rule into the system that coordinates their daily fleet operations.
The session covers how Europcar FleetShare approached the challenge of scaling operations without scaling manual effort, the specific workflows Lanterne automates for them today, and the operational results they have seen since going live. Alex then looks ahead at where intelligent fleet operations is going: what happens when the system learns how each fleet runs and starts carrying more of the coordination work forward on its own.
A practical session for operators thinking about how to get more vehicles on the road with less manual overhead.
