Bikademy Joins the MARC Impact Program 2025: Accelerating Growth in Active Mobility & Social Impact
Yesterday in Krapina, Bikademy officially kicked off its journey in the MARC Impact Program 2025, organized by Erste Group and Poduzetnički centar Krapinsko-zagorske županije. Out of numerous applicants, we are proud to be selected as one of the 12 startups chosen for this year’s cohort.
This marks an important milestone for us, not only as a mobility startup, but as a team dedicated to creating positive social and environmental impact through cycling.
Presenting Bikademy’s Vision for Active Mobility
During the kickoff event, we presented Bikademy’s mission to encourage sustainable mobility through:
- Active mobility engagement
- ESG-driven cycling data (km, rides, CO₂ savings)
- Gamified digital tools for cities, regions, and companies
- Residents’ Clash & Employees’ Clash as scalable impact solutions
It was an ideal opportunity to demonstrate how Bikademy supports municipalities, businesses, and communities in shifting toward healthier, greener, and more sustainable everyday mobility.
Learning, Networking, and Real Social Impact
The program brought together a cohort of founders working on solutions that create real value: social, environmental, and economic. It was inspiring to exchange experiences with startups whose work is reshaping their industries and driving measurable change.
We are especially excited about:
- Mentorship sessions with leading experts
- Workshops focused on scaling, fundraising, and impact metrics
- Peer learning with other mission-driven founders
- Building a stronger foundation for expanding Bikademy in Croatia and abroad
These next months will help us refine our strategy, gain new perspectives, and accelerate toward broader European growth.
Looking Ahead: What the MARC Impact Program Means for Bikademy
Joining the MARC Impact Program is more than recognition, it is a boost for our mission:
To help cities, communities, and companies move more sustainably, track impact transparently, and inspire thousands of people to choose the bicycle over the car.
We’re excited about everything ahead and ready to use this momentum to continue scaling Bikademy across Croatia, the EU, and beyond.
