To succeed in the mobility business, companies need scale – and they need it fast. Representatives from Spanish financial services firm CaixaBank, vehicle manufacturer Kia in Slovenia and UK online platform provider Finalrentals discuss how they are ramping up their mobility businesses.

The battle for supremacy in the emerging mobility business is heading to be clash of giants.

“In mobility, scale matters,” says Amelia Bradley, associate partner at Corporate Value Associates (CVA).

Few companies currently have the capabilities required to build a strong presence in more than a fraction of those markets.
