For the second year running, our Euspert team decided to take part in the Web Summit in Dublin, a unique event that connects virtual businesses from all over the world. This time, we wanted to discover not only who the new interesting players in the world of startups are, but also to find out if and how they are supported by their countries.

It is currently present in 40 countries, with over 700 rental points in the BimBimBikes community of bike rental companies. Its founder Michel Willems sat down with us to answer our questions: Helena: What was the main inspiration for you to start this business? Michel: I had a wonderful vacation in San Francisco. We booked a lovely apartment, we ate at great restaurants (with good online reviews). Then we went to a bike rental shop. They were out of bikes.
