Curious to learn about the latest innovations in urban transportation? We were too! That’s why Cédric conducted an interview with Manuel Hug, CEO & Co-Founder of SoFlow. Watch the video below for more on innovative types of transportation.
Manuel Hug studied Supply Chain Management and spent a significant part of his career in this field. He worked for ten years in supply chain coordination and logistics in a big retail company, but eventually he decided made the change to pursue an entrepreneurial dream. That’s how three years ago Hug and his friends started their own business, SoFlow.
The vision of the SoFlow team was to help people change the way they commute in cities on a daily basis. This micro-mobility company created a program which consisted of more than 20 types of reliable and rechargeable transportation. From e-skateboards and hoverboards to scooters, every product is environmentally friendly and respects the Swiss quality standards.
