68% of urban public spaces are occupied by cars while 32% are for pedestrians. However, cars are idle for 95% of their potential usage time. Urban planning and the new urban ecology inevitably have to review people’s mobility, and this is where a business model such as Cabify is based, which facilitates transport for citizens from a technological platform that already incorporates vtc, taxis, bicycles and electric motorbikes.

During the course of the conference, the city of Seville became the epicentre of technological innovation and entrepreneurship with the celebration of an event that brought together more than 200 people at the offices of La Fábrica de Sevilla in Marqués de Contadero.

The event was attended by the Delegate of Economy of the City Council of Seville, Álvaro Pimentel, who opened the day highlighting “the importance of supporting technology and entrepreneurship in the city, thanking the presence of the founder of Cabify as a source of inspiration for Sevillian entrepreneurs”.

Juan de Antonio, founder of Cabify, a leading mobility company, shared his vision and experience in the world of technology startups, as well as anecdotes about the challenges he faced when starting his company and how he managed to overcome them to become a mobility giant. One of those Spanish startups known as unicorns, with a valuation of over 1 billion euros and a presence in Latin America.
