In a move reflecting the strategic shift of major telecom groups toward diversifying revenue through digital solutions, VEON’s subsidiary Kyivstar has announced the acquisition of E-wings. The deal, valued at $2.2 million, involves integrating E-wings' electric scooter services into the Uklon partner platform. This acquisition aims to bolster a multimodal mobility ecosystem that combines ride-hailing, delivery, and micro-mobility services under a single digital umbrella.
This acquisition occurs as the micro-mobility market experiences significant growth, with global peers like Uber and Lyft increasingly integrating diverse transport modes to boost user engagement. Per market data, expanding into electric scooters helps increase user retention within unified "super-apps." VEON continues to position itself as a digital operator in emerging markets, moving beyond traditional connectivity to capture value in the broader digital economy.
