🚦 Driving forward - Mobility Mission Begins! 🚀 Yesterday, our “mobility adventure” kicked off in LA with innovation and collaboration! Thanks to the Netherlands Consulate in San Francisco, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the USA and NBSO Los Angeles for setting the pace! 🚲 Alongside 13 mobility companies (including yours truly, Quartermaster California 🙋♂️), we hit the ground running! Consul-General Theo Peters welcomed us, followed by a behind-the-scenes Union Station tour (thank you so much Steve Jaffe). 🚉 Our sincere appreciation to LA Metro for sharing Olympic-scale plans and insights. 🚶 After a Downtown LA walk, we delved into the CoMotion LA 24 Summit 🚗. 🌇 Capped off the day with an LA skyline view at the Broken Shaker - wheels are turning!

From Robots to Seagliders: Riding the Wave of Mobility Innovation at CoMotion LA! Attending the second day of CoMotion LA 2024 has been nothing short of exhilarating. The conference buzzes with innovative ideas and discussions centered on the future of mobility, emphasizing sustainable and intelligent transportation solutions. Among the standout topics are robotic deliveries, drone logistics, urban cable cars, and seagliders. The Dutch innovation and Mobility Trade Mission participant, PAL-V —a car-airplane hybrid—continues to captivate attendees with its groundbreaking concept. While some in Europe may still view delivery robots and drones with skepticism, here in Los Angeles, they are becoming integral to daily life. Autonomous vehicles, like the Waymo taxis operating in LA and San Francisco, are no longer just prototypes but active participants in the urban transport ecosystem. Tesla’s recent unveiling of a robotaxi concept has further stirred the industry, contributing to a notable 30% increase in its stock value. Dutch delegates on the mobility trade mission who experienced a ride in a Waymo vehicle unanimously describe it as a revelation. The workshops here are echoing a common sentiment: 2024 marks a pivotal year for autonomous taxis. Whether this surge represents a lasting transformation or a fleeting trend, akin to the earlier hype around e-scooters and car-sharing, remains to be seen. However, the potential economic efficiencies of driverless cabs are evident. A personal comparison on exactly(!) the same route between an Uber ride costing $23.68 and a Waymo ride at $9.26 highlights the significant savings achievable by eliminating the driver—a compelling prospect for the future of urban mobility.

🌍 Nederland op de kaart zetten aan de Amerikaanse westkust! 🇳🇱🇺🇸 (English translation below) In een inspirerend gesprek bij WNL Op Zondag belichtte Reinout Oerlemans, honorair consul van Nederland in Los Angeles, de enorme kansen voor Nederland in Californië en daarbuiten. Met aankomende evenementen zoals de Olympische Spelen in 2028, het WK Voetbal in 2026, en de groeiende behoefte aan mobiliteit en watermanagement in een markt van 18 miljoen mensen, liggen er volop kansen voor Nederlandse bedrijven om te floreren aan de westkust van de VS. Echter, zoals Oerlemans terecht aangeeft, zijn er twee cruciale uitdagingen voor bedrijven die hier kansen zien: zichtbaarheid en continuïteit. Te vaak ziet hij bedrijven die na een veelbelovende start weer terugvliegen zonder voldoende vervolg. Veelal komt dit mede door soms lastig te doorgronden of te doorbreken barrières zoals culturele verschillen, praktische zaken, het tijdsverschil van -9 uur en de kosten van een lokaal team Quartermaster California biedt de oplossing! Wij ondersteunen kleine en middelgrote bedrijven in hun opstartfase en zorgen ervoor dat ze lokaal kunnen opereren zonder de zware investering van een volledig team ter plaatse. Samen zorgen we ervoor dat kansen worden omgezet in duurzame successen.

Oerlemans, Honorary Consul of the Netherlands in Los Angeles, highlighted the tremendous opportunities for Dutch businesses in California. With upcoming events like the 2028 Olympic Games, the 2026 World Cup, and the growing demand for mobility and water preservation in a market of 18 million people, there are countless possibilities for Dutch companies to thrive on the West Coast of the US. However, as Oerlemans rightly points out, two major challenges for companies aiming to seize these opportunities are visibility and continuity. Too often, he sees businesses take off full of inspiration, only to lose momentum due to sometimes difficult-to-grasp or overcome barriers such as cultural differences, practical matters, the -9 hour time difference, and the costs of a local team. Quartermaster California has the solution! We support small and medium-sized businesses during their startup phase, ensuring they can operate locally without the need for a significant investment in a full on-site team. Together, we turn opportunities into lasting success. Watch the full interview here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gGSN8W3b
