I was invited my Sheihk Mejed for an amazing weekend in Ras al Khaimah including camel racing, a traditional Arabic wedding, luxury dinners and to view the Waterboxx, a tool to plant trees in the desert.
Tuup
Tuup is a digital solution for peoples everyday mobility. This app makes it possible to travel around without owning your own car or vehicle. Integrated in the app are all possible ways of transport, including car-sharing. On the routeplanner you select where you want to start and finish and Tuup tells you how you can get there and you pay up-front for all the services through this app. It’s even possible to select the most environmental friendly route or if you are in a hurry you can select the most efficient way to travel. To give a more exact estimation of the travel time Tuup uses open data for example delays during peak hour.
Why is Tuup necessary in the future?
Tuup makes it possible to travel everywhere you want using just a single app and there is no need to own a vehicle. It’s a more sustainable way of everyday life and mobility. It even allows you to rent out your bike or car while you are not using it. A great idea as your vehicle is not used for 99% of the time. During this time your vehicle can make money for you.
Interview
Watch the full interview with CEO of Tuup Pekka Möttö.
After a few great and spectaculair days in Berlin I set off to Hamburg where I should meet my mother. Unfortunately it didn’t go as planned.
Berlin has become one of my favorite cities. It is raw, big, colorful and very alive. I stayed here four days and met many people. Highlight was that I met the German State Secretary of Environment Gunther Adler. I interviewed The Green Music Initiative and PlugSurfing.
In Innsbruck I payed a visit to the Upcycle Studio where Johannes creates furniture from old stuff.
