Cogo is thrilled to announce that it has won the Rider's Choice Award for Best Mapping, Navigation and MaaS app. The awards, which received over 50,000 votes across 26 categories, pitted Cogo against some of the biggest names in the industry, including Google Maps, Movit and Citymapper.

The Rider's Choice Awards celebrates all the amazing companies in the mobility industry and there have been three rounds of elimination-style voting in the past months. It is named “the Oscars of mobility” and the award show was broadcasted live on Thursday evening from Los Angeles, California, where Cogo was crowned the Best mapping, navigation and MaaS app in the world. Micromobility Industries, the organisation behind Rider’s Choice Awards, named Cogo the best app that is fundamentally reshaping how users navigate their cities and find shared rides.

Cogo was founded in Copenhagen in 2020 with a mission to make travelling in the cities more efficient, convenient and sustainable. Today, Cogo is one of the largest shared mobility aggregators in Europe and includes over 280 different mobility operators across e-scooters, bikes, cars and mopeds in 700 cities worldwide, making it one of the most comprehensive mobility platforms on the market.

"We are humbled to have been voted the best MaaS app in the world. We pride ourselves on providing our users with a product that is reliable and easy to use when moving around in our cities. To be recognised by our users and industry is truly an honour, and we will continue to innovate and improve our platform to provide the best experience for our users.”

Robin Eriksson, Cogo CEO:

Cogo’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmentally-friendly mobility solutions options has been a major factor in its success. The startup has raised just over €2 million across two funding rounds and is backed by investors such as PreSeed Ventures, Morph Capital, EIT Urban Mobility, Vækstfonden and Innovationsfonden.
