We examine what motivated these individuals to take the lead in MaaS developments, explore the peaks and pitfalls of their MaaS journeys, and investigate their expectations and predictions for the future of the field.


MaaSterminds is hosted by Hans Arby, founder and former CEO of the Swedish MaaS startup UbiGo, and Steven Sarasini, a researcher that has worked on MaaS since shortly after its inception. Hans and Steven are currently colleagues at RISE (The Research Institutes of Sweden). MaaSterminds is part of the SEAMLESS project, funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.

We explore the challenges and benefits of setting up and running a MaaS operation within a public organization – and doing it years before the iPhone was introduced! Martin is also known for the often used "Three MaaS market models".


In this episode we discuss:

  • The importance of enthusiasts – and endurance – in making new things happen
  • The advantage of having to focus on the actual offer and partnerships instead of an app 
  • The pros and cons of a public MaaS service compared to commercial MaaS
  • If there is any good examples of MaaS today

...and many other things
