How can we reduce delivery workers’ costs, make it easier to transport crops or improve mobility for people with reduced mobility? Presented at the Movin’On Summit 2026, this video gives the floor to six entrepreneurs already deploying solutions developed in Africa around on-the-ground needs.

Six solutions for everyday mobility

WEXGO (formerly RMobility Africa): Bringing mobility services together in one app

Raynald Ballo presents an app that brings together services already available on the ground, from buses and carpooling to motorcycle and car journeys and delivery. Users can access them with a single account and pay via mobile money.

Shantha Bloemen presents electric tricycles designed to make it easier to transport goods, particularly crops. They address the needs of women in rural areas, especially smallholder farmers.

From deployment to scale These solutions are already in operation. To make them accessible to more people, entrepreneurs need to be able to finance their growth, rely on charging infrastructure, find the skills they need and operate within an appropriate regulatory framework.

Movin’On Africa brings together entrepreneurs, businesses, public stakeholders and experts to work on these deployment conditions. The aim is to enable solutions that already address local needs to benefit more users and professionals.
