Many people are still surprised by the phenomenon of startups being able to influence the industry so quickly without having much experience. There are many possible explanations, including the fact that startups are usually willing to experiment with new technologies, which leads to innovative thinking and radical new solutions.
- 1. Car rental services
To get inspired, let's start with examples of startups that have become successful and have grown into a full-fledged business. Car rental services appeared not so long ago in the automotive industry, and now they are part of most people's lives. We use car rental services especially often when traveling to explore a new place on the car on our own. At the same time, using rental services have a big number of advantages in comparison with taxi services, because you can choose a car yourself depending on your preferences and budget. Even premium car rental in Dubai today is available for the users. It secures safety and reliability. The provision of such services shows the level of a small car rental startup that once grew into a popular car rental service in the UAE.

Car companies are also focused on creating more fuel-efficient cars, including models that run exclusively on electricity. One of the main issues that arise when buying an electric car is its charging. The German startup Charges offers an optimal solution for charging electric vehicles, which turns parking spaces into charging stations.
