We are hosting Manolis Manassakis, Head of Marketplace EMEA at Uber who will share some amazing stories of how Uber has pulled off the impossible. The hyper-growth startup that changed everything in terms of how people move in a city.

Uber has become a text-book case study of moving fast (and yes, some times breaking things) and became synonymous of disruption in transportation. And where there is disruption, there is usually reaction. In fact, the deeper the disruption, the strongest the reaction from the status quo.

As Manolis was General Manager for Uber Greece until recently, he will share with the Startup community in Athens how difficult it was to manage expectations and balance between unions and users, regulation and corporate targets, partner drivers who invested so much in Uber buying new cars / fleets and politicians.

We'll also discuss Uber's future plans to move into dockless electric bicycle sharing with the recent acquisition of Jump Bikes and why not, even expand operations with e-scooters.
