Welcome to the second edition of the new Experts Sessions! In this series of events, you can join us for evenings with climate tech specialists, visionary founders, and forward-thinking investors in a relaxed and engaging setting. This event is designed to foster knowledge sharing, in-depth discussions, and meaningful connections.
For our second Expert Session, we are delighted to welcome Bart Lubbers, Founder of Fastned, to share his entrepreneurial journey.
Fast-charging growth: from founding to IPO and beyond

Today, Fastned operates over 300 stations across Europe, all powered by renewable energy, and continues to expand its footprint while shaping the future of electric mobility. From securing funding and scaling operations to navigating the challenges of going public (and what happens after), Bart and Fastned’s story offers invaluable insights into how to build a business that powers the future.
In this session, Bart will cover:
