Residents in Shanghai have been suffering from increasingly crowded roads, serious air pollution and shortage of parking space. How to mobilize people and cargo efficiently is not only a matter of cost-saving, but also a matter of being environmentally and socially responsible. In the seminar, we are delighted to invite Mr. Jean-Claude Zhang, the CEO of Karnet, and Mr. Pierre-Antoine Tricen, Director of Geoconcept, to present their understanding of share economy and smart transport.

Karnet is a leading App developer for car-pooling in China. Recently, they initiated a project with Michelin to promote car-pooling among employees, which has gained popularity and created a sense of community. Through case study, Karnet will share how they help reduce commuting cost and create a friendly ecology for shared economy. 

Different from the B2C model adopted by Karnet, Geoconcept will show you how they help their business clients optimize transport route, maximize the utility of each delivery and identify best warehouse location in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
