Carpooling service wins Premio Speciale Repower
December
Start-up Jojob Real Time Carpooling wins the fourth edition of Repower’s innovation award.
The Premio Speciale Repower is awarded for the fourth time as part of the renowned 2031 innovation awards.
In December 2021 the Premio Speciale Repower was awarded to the start-up Jojob. The award was presented at the finale of one of Europe’s most important competitions for innovation, the 2031 award. The start-up will receive mentoring sponsored by Repower.
Jojob is a start-up based in Turin. In 2015 it launched a carpooling service and free app with the same name: once registered, each user can plan their journeys, find drivers and/or passengers to travel with them, book journeys with others and automatically pay part of the costs of travel.
The panel of journalists, innovators and entrepreneurs chose Jojob because the company has “found a response to a growing need of users and businesses and has adapted proactively to a changing market situation.”
