Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, a Belgian non-profit maximizing efficiency in shared mobility

About me

Esen Köse is a project manager at Mpact vzw, a Belgian non-profit dedicated to maximizing efficiency through shared mobility services. Mpact engages in policy-making and social innovation, particularly within European projects. Esen specializes in making sustainable and shared mobility accessible to everyone. She has honed her skills in European projects, focusing on automated transport awareness, co-creation in shared mobility, and youth participation. Additionally, she plays a key role in the '30 Dagen Minder Wagen' campaign in Flanders.

My organisation

Mpact works on a more efficient and accessible mobility system based on the principle ‘do more with less’. We want more energy efficiency, inclusion, social cohesion, … and less traffic jams, emissions, costs, …

More efficient also means more sustainable. If you share a ride by carpooling, you take a car off the road. You reduce pollution and CO2 and create more space on the road, thus decreasing traffic jams.

But it is also more fun and cheaper to share a ride. Therefore, we are not only focused on the ecological aspect, we want to get ‘more’ out of life, and give enough attention to the social added value we create with our services.

To create the maximum social and ecological impact, Mpact follows three pillars: solutions, innovation and policy. These are represented in our logo by the triangle.
