OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Rhoé started as a sustainable mobility research group founded on December 17, 2016 by six students from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki's civil engineering department, with the goal of making urban transport friendlier and more accessible. In less than a year, we decided to bring our innovative ideas to market and spin-off into a startup company.

Today we are a mobility and green energy startup aims to catalyze the transition to carbon-neutral forms of transportation and energy by developing state-of-the-art optimization software.

We have had the pleasure of working with a plethora of multinational enterprises and research institutions and government bodies. Throughout the years, we have been honored to receive awards both for product innovation and our trailblazing business strategy.
