MaaSterminds
RISE/Hans Arby
MaaSterminds is about the pioneers of the MaaS concept – the innovators, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts that have driven developments in the field and without whom MaaS would not exist.
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.

#5 Another side of the Finnish MaaS scene
MaaSterminds
05/26/24 • 61 min
In our fifth and final MaaSterminds episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Krista Huhltala-Jenks, a trailblazer in transforming the mobility landscape. Unlike many MaaS advocates who focus on a single organization, Krista's journey involved catalyzing change across various fronts, including spearheading legislative reform in the Finnish transport sector — a pivotal step in Finland's MaaS evolution. Her experience spans esteemed institutions such as MaaS Global and the MaaS Alliance, shaping her rich and dynamic career path.
Krista delves into a range of topics, including:
- The evolution of Finland as a MaaS innovator
- Navigating challenges in legislative reform
- Fostering collaboration and breaking down barriers in the MaaS ecosystem
- Future prospects for MaaS
...and much more.

#4 The very first MaaS service
MaaSterminds
04/02/24 • 56 min
In this fourth episode we meet Martin Rörhleef who launched the first ever combined mobility service already in 2006, Hannover Mobile, after a two year pilot at Üstra, the Hannover Public Transport Operator. 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
