New technologies in automation, riding sharing, electrification, pedal power and long-haul transportation have the potential to create new mobility markets and commercial opportunities that were unimaginable 10 years ago. This new reality is forcing transportation companies to evolve to keep up with challengers who are pushing the innovation envelope. Investors on this panel will discuss the emerging technologies transforming the way we think of mobility and what they believe are the most exciting and investment-worthy frontier technologies funding. Panelists will also discuss what frontier technology startups need to demonstrate in order to gain funding versus startups that are working to gain traction in more established industries.
