How should cities regulate and procure shared micromobility services so that they remain reliable, scalable and aligned with local mobility goals? On 10 September, the EU-funded GEMINI project will bring together public authorities and leading mobility operators for a one-hour webinar dedicated to the governance and tendering models behind successful shared micromobility services.

The session will focus on practical experience from metropolitan regulation and operator-led deployments across Europe, looking at the choices cities face when designing tender models, setting common rules, managing public space and building long-term relationships with service providers.

A metropolitan approach from Barcelona

Lorena Zurrón, Sustainable Mobility Engineer at the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB), will present AMB’s supramunicipal regulatory framework for shared electric mopeds and motorcycles – the first of its kind in Spain. The model covers up to 15,000 vehicles across eight municipalities and combines metropolitan licences, unified rules, digital monitoring tools and coordinated public-space management. Since its launch, the system has enabled more than 5.6 million trips, showing how data-driven regulation can support scalable, zero-emission mobility.

The operator perspective

Damien Vander Heyden, Business Development Director at Inurba Mobility, will contribute the perspective of an experienced bike-sharing operator. With 30 years of professional experience – including a decade specialising in bike sharing – he has worked across business development, partnerships and project management before moving to the operational side of the sector. Inurba Mobility designs, deploys and operates bike-sharing systems tailored to local needs, combining technology with strong operational capabilities for reliable long-term services.

What makes a public tender work?

Camille Loth, B2G General Manager at Cooltra, will share lessons from public bike-sharing development and long-standing collaboration with local authorities. With more than 15 years of experience in mobility and smart-city projects across Europe, he has developed new business lines and structured successful offers for complex public tenders. His contribution will explore how tender requirements, operational realities and public-sector objectives can be brought together in a workable model.

Who should attend?

The webinar is particularly relevant for local and regional authorities, transport planners, shared mobility operators and professionals involved in planning, procuring or managing shared micromobility services. Combining the perspectives of a metropolitan authority and two experienced operators, it will offer practical insights for cities considering how best to structure governance and procurement for shared mobility.
