Through a Start-up Camp powered by Innosuisse and managed by the Swissnex network, Evolium Technologies had the opportunity to attend events in Japan to present its innovative solution for circularity of lithium-based batteries. From this trip emerged the beginnings of a partnership with Luup. <\/strong><\/p>\n To give them a second life in residential photovoltaic storage, Evolium tests and reconditions lithium-based batteries after their first life, which is often in e-micromobility. This is where Luup comes into play. Being the market leader of shared micromobility in Japan, the company manages thousands of e-scooters and e-bikes in various cities. The performance of these vehicles\u2019 batteries will eventually decrease, becoming not efficient enough for e-mobility. To avoid their premature recycling, a second life in photovoltaic storage is well suited, which is possible thanks to Evolium\u2019s innovative battery remanufacturing process. <\/p>\n From Innosuisse Start-up Coaching to GoGlobal in Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n By being selected in the Innosuisse \u2013 the Swiss Innovation Agency \u2013 start-up coaching program, Evolium was invited to attend the GoGlobal Camp co-organised by Innosuisse and Swissnex \u2013 the Swiss global network for education, research and innovation \u2013 in Japan. This camp included presentations of the start-up at two significant events: SusHi Tech Tokyo and the World Expo 2025 in Osaka. This opportunity allowed Evolium to meet with relevant industry stakeholders, including Luup. <\/p>\n A willingness to partner for an improved battery lifecycle<\/strong><\/p>\n Being committed to sustainability, Luup is exploring innovative strategies to enhance the lifecycle and environmental impact of its battery systems. Together with Evolium, both companies are looking to establish a partnership with the goal to promote sustainable and circular approaches to battery use in the e-micromobility sector. <\/strong><\/p>\n About Luup<\/strong><\/p>\n LUUP is a sharing service for e-scooters and e-bikes. LUUP stations are spread throughout the city. People can rent from nearby stations in front of train stations, downtown, residential areas, convenience stores, etc., and return at any time and place they like. Daily trips to the nearest train station, going to places that seem a little far to walk, and climbing hills that people would prefer to avoid, can be turned into “”quick, easy, and pleasant”” rides. Luup is the market leader in shared micromobility in Japan, operating more than 13,000 ports across more than twelve cities. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”2805,2808,2786″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|25px|25px|25px|25px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#24356A” custom_margin=”-50px||-100px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Evolium Technologies signs a Memorandum of Understanding with Luup Inc, the market leader of shared micromobility in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2790,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-categorise"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2942"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2944,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2942\/revisions\/2944"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evolium.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
