On August 17, 2023, the 140th Co-Investing Atrium featured a transformative presentation by Seshu Bhagavathula, Director of the Board at CityQ, and Morten Rynning, CEO & Founder of CityQ. This event provided a unique platform for showcasing CityQ, the pioneer in 4W weather-protected e-bikes, designed to make year-round cycling a viable and attractive alternative to traditional car usage.
CityQ's innovative approach was highlighted, showcasing their downsizing of cars into e-bikes with car-like comfort, safety, flexibility, and technology.

Investors recognized the potential of CityQ not just as a mobility solution, but as a catalyst for broader changes in urban transport. The session concluded with strong investor interest and support for CityQ’s mission to redefine urban mobility.
